Yeah, I can't think of a good reason why the USB stack shouldn't
work on PAE since it does work on real 64-bit platforms.  Maybe
there are some 'sizeof(void*) != sizeof(bus_addr_t)' spots in it?  My
only concern was making the tree build, though.  Feel free to correct
it.  I can probably make a PAE system available if you'd like.
