There are conditions were EHCI don't work - in the same way as there
are still conditions were OHCI/UHCI don't work.
But it's not unsusual for say OHCI to work and EHCI not on the same
chip.
On the other hand EHCI is not complete - e.g. hub support is missing
and high speed hubs are quite common today, which is the may reason to
not have it in GENERIC.

Porting to -stable should basicly just MFC'ing the -current version and
taking care about the lockmgr usage - at least if lockmgr was not
already MFC'ed.
That said - I don't have stable test machine with required USB hardware
here, so it's up to someone else to do :)
