This contradicts what Shaohua wrote:

"The only case is UHCI in my mind. Because UHCI has non-standard wakeup
event register. If BIOS doesn't handle it correctly (for example, not
clear the wakeup event after a GPE), we will keep see the wakeup
event."

What code would be responsible for setting and clearing the 
non-standard wakeup register?  Are you assuming that ACPI will always 
handle it?  I guess that's a reasonable assumption -- if ACPI wasn't 
aware of the register then it never would get enabled, and conversely, 
if ACPI was aware and could enable the register, then ACPI ought to 
disable it when necessary.
