Are they not called at all during hibernation, or just print message and ftrace fails to catch it? Thanks.

Hmmm.  These logs really aren't good enough, although it may not be 
possible for you to do much better.

Hibernation is a three-stage procedure.  In the first stage, devices
are frozen and then a memory image is created.  In the second stage,
devices are thawed and then the memory image is written to disk.  In
the third stage, devices are powered off (the same as suspend).

Resume from hibernation involves two more stages.  In the fourth stage, 
devices are frozen and then the memory image is copied into RAM.  In 
the fifth stage, devices are restored (the same as resume).

This means that when you run the dmesg command after resuming, what you
get contains the log messages only from the first and fifth stages.  
The messages from the second, third, and fourth stage are lost because
they aren't part of the memory image.  If you can set up a serial
console then you'll be able record the entire kernel log without losing
anything.  As an example, when I need to test with a serial console, I 
add this to the kernel boot command line:

	console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 no_console_suspend

If you can find a test computer with a serial port (I don't think a
USB-RS232 device is good enough), something like that should work.

Thus: usb_port_suspend() is called during the third stage, but for this
reason it don't show up in the dmesg2.txt file.  That answers one of
your questions.  On the other hand, xhci_pci_suspend() gets called 
during the first, third, and fourth stages -- and in fact, dmesg2.txt 
does contain this line:

[  709.722482] usb usb7: bus suspend

Another part of the problem may be that during the frezzing stages, USB
devices are not suspended but the bus_suspend methods _are_ called.  
This causes no difficulty for [UOE]HCI, but it might for xHCI.

As for why the keyboard wakeup doesn't work, I can't tell.  Maybe the
second stage (thawing) fails somehow, so the wakeup mechanism never 
gets set up properly.
