What one was able todo some time ago when there still was a power/state sysfs entry for usb devices, was suspend the device without changing the autosuspend state and then it would wake automatically when used again, I think it would be easiest for hal to see this behaviour back. Note I'm not saying that this behaviour should be brought back, currently I'm mainly trying to find out what hal may / may not expect from the kernel with regards to usb suspend in the future so that I can write a hal patch based on that.
