Basically we'll want be able to create a multifunction device like this:

[root@rincewind ~]# lspci -s1d
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI 
Controller #1 (rev 03)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI 
Controller #2 (rev 03)
00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI 
Controller #3 (rev 03)
00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI 
Controller #1 (rev 03)

Ideally via "-device ich9-ehci-uhci,addr=1d" or simliar.  Asking the 
user to create the four subdevices manually, with properties set 
correctly to wind up the usb port relations is kida insane ...

Ideas how to do that best?

cheers,
