The issue with USB is that it is (by design) a polled system. The UHCI adapter
has to wakeup every 1ms to read transfer descriptors from guest RAM.
Until recently there was a bug in the UHCI emulation that would wake the guest
even if the tablet NACKed the poll.
See http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-04/msg00150.html
USB does support "autosuspend". This allows a guest to put a device to sleep,
and have it wake up when something interesting happens. In theory this
includes HID devices. However I believe linux disables it because there's so
much broken hardware out there that implements it incorrectly. I suspect qemu
does not currently implement this feature either.
