plan 9 supports the mouse on usb using usb/mouse, running the full protocol,
so it can find it on the hub.

it does nothing to support the keyboard, so when it works, i'd suspect it's
because you've enabled legacy mode in the bios, which leaves the keyboard
in special `boot device mode', and (perhaps depending on which bios)
that possibly only works when it's directly visible on one of the system's notional root hubs
(ie, directly wired ports without a hub at all).
