Yes, new read IOs seem to wake up them. Are there any tools/ways to examine whether expected interrupt occurred or not? > What type of RAID controller/storage hardware are you using?

The BIOS, PCI Express adapter and RAID system's firmware are not up to date. We will try to update these softwares and check if the same problem occur. It would be nice to reproduce this problem as easy as posible. If there is suitable application(benchmark or test program etc), please let me know. Thanks.
