To tell the truth, I have no idea.  There probably aren't enough USB-3 
products in existence yet to tell -- not to mention that with the 
existing code, we wouldn't detect any exceptions.

It sounds reasonable...  But won't a USB-3 device running at high speed
provide a device descriptor that has bcdUSB set to 0x0210?  (See the
second paragraph of section 9.6.1 in the USB-3.1 spec.)
