As a followup to this, the net module on my system accounts for nearly all of the wakeups due to enlightenment on my system - unloading the module brings enlightenment down from 38 wakeups/sec to 7 wakeups/sec (and this is with about 14 other modules loaded). Something to look into maybe? (The fglrx driver is the cause of around 100 wakeups/sec on my system, so it's not too much of an issue for me, but maybe for other people.)
