Some things about this still confuse me...

Okay, so we're waking up from hibernation.

In fact, the resume kernel doesn't call ehci_resume at all.  Here's what 
it does:

	The resume kernel boots;

	If your patch causes STS_PCD to be set at this point, the flag 
	should get cleared shortly afterward by ehci_irq;

	ehci-hcd goes into runtime suspend;

	The kernel reads the system image that was stored earlier when
	hibernation began;

	After the image is loaded, the system goes into the freeze
	state (this does not call any routines in ehci-hcd);

	The resume kernel transfers control to the image kernel;

Now the image kernel is running.  It goes into the restore state, which 
involves calling ehci_resume.  Presumably your patch cases the STS_PCD 
flag to get set at this point.

But that's all!  The system is now back up, out of hibernation, and 
running normally.  There are no more calls to check_root_hub_suspended

So how can this happen, given that the image kernel doesn't call 
pci_pm_freeze_noirq?
