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.
