EHCI

EHCI controllers can only handle USB 2.0 (with a few exceptions not included by QEMU), so a companion controller is needed for USB 1.x.

UHCI

Intel and VIA controllers fall into this section. Other vendors tend to use OHCI.

These controllers support USB 1.0 and are more software-intensive than their counterparts, thus less efficient at virtualization.
