Well, who says 1000msec is enough? Some userspace may need
more. ... for example on PC when you keyboard-handling deamon is
swapped out.

 * Notify the PM core of a wakeup event whose source is @ws that will
   take                    
 * approximately @msec milliseconds to be processed by the kernel.  If
   @ws is                 
 * not active, activate it.  If @msec is nonzero, set up the @ws'
   timer to                    
 * execute pm_wakeup_timer_fn() in future.                                                    

Will take @msec milliseconds to be processed by the _kernel_. Yes, USB
probing takes a lot of time in kernel. But you are using this
parameter to wait for userspace...

Rafael, do you have any idea how this is supposed to work?
