Yup, I only have the pager module enabled, no activity and no windows aside 
from the powertop xterm.

True, the ipw2100 and the usb mouse cause ~4/sec each and prevent the kernel 
from reaching C3. With both of these gone and NoDRI for the radeon driver, I 
can get the kernel into C3 state most of the time with ~6-8 wakeups/sec. Of 
this, e17 is 4/sec, hence it would be nice to find the culprit and (if 
possible) remove it.
