If the number in /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe0D increases too at
the same time, then they are related.

Does the Ehternet controller take part in that too?

That's entirely possible, but I'd like to understand what's going on. :-)

PME Status that is.

Well, pci_acpi_wake_dev() appears to be the only one, at least in the PCI
land.  pci_pme_wakeup_bus() calls pci_pme_wakeup() recursively and that _does_
check PME Status.  The polling uses pci_pme_wakeup() too.

However, the Matthew's patch changing pci_acpi_wake_dev(), reproduced below,
didn't make any difference for you and, moreover, the DSDT doesn't seem to
contain any device objects for xHCI, so at least this one shouldn't be notified
via ACPI.  Bummer.

So I wonder if the wakeups may actually originate in the USB land?  I mean,
we have the logic causing child devices to resume their parents, so perhaps
when EHCI is woken up, it wakes up USB-something and that causes the other
controllers to resume?  Alan, is that possible at all?
