Very good point.

Don't have an answer about other OSes.
But OHCI controllers have individual "used by SMM" bits and taking over one
controller doesn't affect the bits of the other controllers - they remain set.
Not that it means that SMM code actually keeps on controlling them.

Actually, just checked - Linux also does it per controller:
