Here's an example (just for kicks, not completely relevant to your discussion): A USB keyboard key release. Unlike key presses, key releases need not generate input events. If no processes are monitoring the raw keyboard event queue then the release is not visible to userspace at all, hence not visible before the wakeup_source needs to be deactivated.
