Add some printk statements to the wakeup_rh() routine: Display the 
value of inw(uhci->io_addr + USBCMD) in hex, both before and after the 
udelay(4) line.  Try doing this for both 2.6.24-rc3 and 2.6.24-rc3-mm1 
so you can compare the values for the two different kernels.

Also, enable CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME.
