No.  Ports will be powered down only if it's impossible to attach a 
device, that is, if PortIsConnectable is clear.  As a safety check, you 
should also verify that no device is currently attached.

Set DeviceRemovable whenever UserVisible is set.  Right now ehci-hcd 
and uhci-hcd always set DeviceRemovable to 0.

This flag doesn't care about resets.  It applies to any device which 
loses important settings when bus power is removed.
