After further investigations, here are the results of my tests. - The phenomenon is reproducible and happens every time. - It makes no differences if the modules are loaded at boot time or after. - loading yenta_socket makes the phenomenon appear after a random period of time. - unloading yenta_socket doesn't do anything and wakeups rate stays high. - reloading yenta_socket while rate is high makes it goes low. - Then, removing yenta_socket while wakeups rate is low make it stay low.
The measures and comments are in attachment. I've deactivated one core but the behavior is exactly the same. The power consumption resulting of this high level of wakeups is around 2W on my laptop.
