In short, because that's the way your hardware manufacturers and software
configuration set it up. My Inspiron, with two USB ports, has two hubs.
Doesn't seem necessary, but it's in the ACPI implementation, iirc. The "full
speed" (ack! I hate that weasel term) hubs are there because you have ohci
configured - why? If you have it compiled as a module, try removing it, then
plugging something in - should still work, using ehci. When you plugged in a
high-speed device, it bypassed the USB 1.1 hubs and went right to the 2.0 hub
- which makes it pretty obvious why you can't have the 1.1 hubs as children
of the root.
