Devices can now arrive and leave after boot. A "usbhotplug" kernel thread
handles root-port changes, which it is told about by Port Status Change
events and also checks for every quarter second. It also handles changes
behind hubs, which each hub reports on its status-change endpoint. An
unplugged device has its endpoints closed and any transfer in flight
failed. Then its drivers' disconnect hooks run, the slot is disabled and
its memory is freed. Everything behind a hub that goes goes with it. This
needed the interrupt handler to file command and endpoint-0 completions
for their waiters, so that enumeration can run while keyboards interrupt.
On real hardware: the controller is taken from the firmware through USB
Legacy Support before reset, with SMIs off. On Intel 7/8/9 series parts
the ports are switched over from EHCI, which is where firmware leaves
them.
Every interface of a device is offered to the class drivers, not just
the first, so a receiver's mouse on interface 1 gets a driver. Configure
Endpoint now copies the slot context from the controller. Before, it
rebuilt it and lost the route string and TT fields of devices behind
hubs.
HID: pointers are read in report protocol from their report descriptor.
That covers buttons, X/Y and wheel, relative or absolute, and report IDs.
Boot protocol is kept as the fallback for mice and for keyboards.
Non-pointer HID interfaces are declined rather than treated as tablets.
USB keyboards get software key repeat. Mass storage handles up to four
sticks, each unregistered from the block layer when it is pulled out,
along with its cached blocks.

q35 stopped with "no root filesystem" because its disk is SATA, like
every PC since 2008, and SchOS only had IDE. And SchFS could only sit
on a whole raw device, so nothing could boot from a disk that also
carried an ESP.
- include/blkdev.h, kernel/dev/blkdev.c: a registry of block devices
found at probe time, numbered from 4. A disk's GPT (or MBR) is read
when it registers, and each partition becomes a device whose block 0
is the partition's first sector. SchFS needs no format change to live
in a partition; a Linux SchFS driver will see the same bytes on
/dev/sdX2. SchFS has its own GPT type:
47138FA9-B79C-47A6-9F7D-AC1F7F572D5E.
- AHCI driver, written from the AHCI 1.3.1 spec: BIOS handoff,
COMRESET when the link is down, IDENTIFY, 48-bit DMA read/write,
FLUSH. Completion is polled, so the root disk does not depend on
interrupt routing.
- USB sticks also register as usb0, so their partitions are found.
- The root probe tries registered devices between USB and IDE,
SchFS-typed partitions first.
- make disk / tools/posix/mkdisk.sh: a GPT image with a 64 MB ESP and
a SchFS partition, ready to dd to a stick or a disk.
Tested in QEMU q35: the old two-disk setup roots on sata1; disk.img as
the only SATA disk roots on sata0p2; disk.img as a USB stick (firmware
boots from it) roots on usb0p2. Writes survive sync in each case.
