If the card as advertised as USB 3.0 then it will be xHCI.  Only a
card which is genuinely only USB 2.0/1.1 will work.  Even then, you
might not be able to use, say, a USB keyboard in the BIOS when the
keyboard is in the offboard card. That's the annoying thing in my
setup-- if I want to interact with the BIOS, the keyboard must be in
an onboard, xHCI port.  But when we get to the OS, it must be in the
offboard card for it to work.
