Actually, USB2 hubs should now work well enough to talk to USB2
devices (they work for me connecting USB2 umass devices anyway),
but we don't have support for talking to USB1 devices via USB2 hubs
yet.

That's the way EHCI is designed to operate; directly connected USB1
devices are handled by the companion USB1 controller, not EHCI.
