Well, it does. When the notification is port based our software model
should better reflect that, so we have the chance to add resume
propagation to the hub emulation later on.

I guess the Ops should be moved from the USBBus to the USBPort to
reflect that. This way the hub emulation and the uhci root hub can have
different callbacks, which is needed to get this correct.
