Actually ff you use an USB device, you can never use the C3 or C4 mode 
of your CPU. USB devices just cause busmaster activity, and as long as 
the kernel detecs busmaster activity, it stops taking the CPU in 
anything behind C2.

If you want to know more please read ACPIspec3.0
8.1.4 Processor Power State C3
on page 253 (the number in the document / the pdfreader says it's page 273)
