Right. So in my example:
                       |- USB #1        |- USB #2      |- USB #3      
|-EHCI
{0x00,(0x1d<<3)|0x0, {{0x60, 0x1ef8}, {0x63, 0x1ef8}, {0x62, 0x1ef8},
{0x6b, 0x01ef8}}, 0x0, 0x0}, 

is the same as:

{0x00,(0x1d<<3)|0x0, {{0x60, 0x1ef8}, {0x00, 0x0000}, {0x00, 0x0000},
{0x00, 0x00000}}, 0x0, 0x0}, /* [A] USB UHCI 1 */ 
{0x00,(0x1d<<3)|0x1, {{0x60, 0x1ef8}, {0x63, 0x1ef8}, {0x00, 0x0000},
{0x00, 0x00000}}, 0x0, 0x0}, /* [B] USB UHCI 2 */ 
{0x00,(0x1d<<3)|0x2, {{0x60, 0x1ef8}, {0x63, 0x1ef8}, {0x62, 0x1ef8},
{0x00, 0x00000}}, 0x0, 0x0}, /* [C] USB UHCI 3 */ 
{0x00,(0x1d<<3)|0x7, {{0x60, 0x1ef8}, {0x63, 0x1ef8}, {0x62, 0x1ef8},
{0x6b, 0x01ef8}}, 0x0, 0x0}, /* [D] EHCI */

PIRQA(0X60 0x03 
PIRQB(0X61) 0x05 
PIRQC(0X62) 0x06 
PIRQD(0X63) 0x07 
PIRQE(0X68) 0x09 
PIRQF(0X69) 0x0A 
PIRQG(0X6A) 0x0B 
PIRQH(0X6B) 0x0C 

Also in Linux dmesg it shows what Int the device is connected to on the
interrupt router:

[A] USB UHCI 1
[B] USB UHCI 2
[C] USB UHCI 3
[D] EHCI

3 of the four devices have multiple INT lines running through them so a
physical map would look like the attached file.
