Well, by reading the xHCI spec ;). Seriously, USB is not UART. There has
quite a lot of hard- and software between a serial data stream on the
device side and a potential rtserX RTDM interface for a Xenomai
application. To get an impression, you can study usb4rt [1].

We are about to add a cdc-acm driver to that stack, also "only" a simple
serial interface but still a bit of code. And we are reusing the
existing UHCI host controller + core stack.

Are you sure your device makes use of USB-3.0's super speed? Or does
your target only include an xHCI, and there is no way to add a good-old
UHCI to it?
