How is the PMC connected to the host? LPC? At wake up can you ask it
why it woke you up? What event it was, power restored, power button
press, or WOL? Can the PMC generate interrupts over the LPC? What PMC
is it? Is there a datasheet for it?

Getting your architecture correct will also solve your S3/S4 problems.
