I have USB3.0 working on a Sharkoon controller with 2.6.38.8.

What does not work yet is an USB 3.0 hub. Despite grand claims
of "Linux USB 3.0 support" by some kernel dev's a whole ago, 
the truth is that it slowly becomes usable at this time, but
is by no means complete yet. My guesstimate would be that
it will take another 3-6 months for hub support and for the
kinks in controller support to be ironed out.

Not that I mind too much, I think this timeframe is reasonable.
I do mind the overstated self-promotion though.
