Is there a reason that xhci isn't mentioned in NOTES in 8-stable?

Hi,

I don't see any problems at the present. I think all issues have been ironed 
out including the 32/64 byte context sizes. From what I'm aware the XHCI 
driver in 8-stable should be the same like in 9- and 10- except from a recent 
patch done by mav @. This patch should not make a big difference, except for 
INTEL patherpoint devices.
