EHCI controllers handle _only_ high-speed (USB 2.0) connections; full-
and low-speed connections require a separate controller (OHCI or UHCI).
You probably have a bunch of those.

Some chipsets have EHCI controllers with a built-in hub that handles
full-/low-speed connections, so for the OS, all connections end up at
the EHCI controller.
