Thanks Johannes,

So the question one needs to keep in mind is not USB3 per se, but
whether the xhci kernel module is being used.
I'm sorry, I need to read up more on the issue, I did not realize the
xhci module was the problem regardless of whether USB port was 2 or 3
(assuming the labelling on the ports is not wrong).
