On some hardware, device wakeup requests can work even when root-hub
wakeup is disabled -- it varies.

In general we do not want hubs to be enabled for wakeup. If they were,
then your computer would wake up the moment you unplugged a USB device.
You would not be able to (for example) to put your laptop to sleep,
unplug a USB mouse, and put the laptop in its case.
