FWIW, i've never had any issues with ehci(4) on X40 after suspend/resume.

 ehci0 at pci0 dev 29 function 7: Intel 82801DB USB EHCI Controller (rev.  =
0x01)
 ehci0: interrupting at irq 9
 ehci0: BIOS has given up ownership
 ehci0: EHCI version 1.0
 ehci0: companion controllers, 2 ports each: uhci0 uhci1 uhci2

and i get the message on every resume. e.g., today:

 Jun 16 10:15:14 aurora-surrealis apm: Suspending...
 Jun 16 10:15:14 aurora-surrealis apm: Suspending done.
 Jun 16 10:59:19 aurora-surrealis /netbsd: ehci0: BIOS has given up ownersh=
ip
 Jun 16 10:59:19 aurora-surrealis /netbsd: atabus0: resuming...
 Jun 16 10:59:19 aurora-surrealis /netbsd: atabus1: resuming...
 Jun 16 10:59:19 aurora-surrealis apm: Resuming...
 Jun 16 10:59:19 aurora-surrealis apm: Resuming done.
