USB 3.0 failure and possible regression in kernel 3.8.0

USB 3.0 failure and possible regression in kernel 3.8.0

[Norman Diamond]

Kernels somewhere around 2.6.35 could handle USB 3.0 at random sometimes,
but kernel 3.8.0 fails consistently.  I know I should try to bisect this,
but I don't have time and the randomness of the older kernel doesn't help.

lspci:

lsusb:

Can you try a newer kernel (hint, 3.8.0 is old and obsolete)?  3.10-rc5
would be great, but I'll settle for 3.9.5 if you can try that.
