That's fine - those shouldn't be configured as wakeup events.

No, it's not. Forced suspend may be in response to hitting a key, but it 
may also be in response to a 30 minute timeout expiring. If I get a WoL 
packet in the 0.5 of a second between userspace deciding to suspend and 
actually doing so, the system shouldn't suspend.
