USB3 support

It looks like our kernel have USB3 support enabled, but modules aren't included in initramfs, which makes impossible to boot from USB3 drive (both installed system and installer itself).

Is this still a problem on our upgraded fc18-based Dom0 (and 3.7-based dom0 kernel)?

I don't have any hardware capable of booting from USB3, but if I switch disk from USB2 to USB3 port just after grub (but before kernel tries to find root device) it works fine.

I didn't tested the same trick with installer - only already installed system.

So, lets assume it works and close the ticket for now :) If somebody finds out it doesn't (although unlikely with our upgraded Dom0, I think) we will reopen it.
