On my tree that's

	if ((status & STS_PCD) && device_may_wakeup(&hcd->self.root_hub->dev)) {

It's best to actually send a copy of line 620 - kernels vary a lot, and
many developers won't have that particualr -mm tree handy.

The way I normally do this is to do `gdb vmlinux' and then `l
*0xffffffff880ad9d0'.  If that lands you in some inline function then poke
around, displacing the EIP by +/- amounts until it lands outside the
inlined function so you can see the callsite.

Anyway.  Greg's tree seems rather buggy lately..
