What happens after the notification event is generated?  That is, what
functions get called?  I'm not at all familiar with this part of the
kernel.

If the wakeup signal isn't squelched at the source, as part of the
event handling, will we get an interrupt storm?  Will the uhci-hcd 
resume routine be able to handle this or does it need to be done 
earlier?  In other words, do we need special-purpose code in the PCI 
layer to handler it?
