That is correct, it'll work both ways.

Trying to mimic real hardware as close as possible. The ich9 uhci/ehci
controllers are actually integrated chipset devices. The nec xhci is a
express device in physical hardware.
That is more a personal preference though, there are no strong technical
reasons to do it that way.
cheers,
Gerd
