Other OS wake up from the PS button (USB or Bluetooth) is not supported. Below
is a comment from the Linux sys-manager driver.  Note the last sentence.  The
system manger will ignore any other bits.

/**
 * enum ps3_sys_manager_wake_source - Next-op wakeup source (bit position mask).
 * @PS3_SM_WAKE_DEFAULT: Disk insert, power button, eject button, IR
 * controller, and bluetooth controller.
 * @PS3_SM_WAKE_RTC:
 * @PS3_SM_WAKE_RTC_ERROR:
 * @PS3_SM_WAKE_W_O_L: Ether or wireless LAN.
 * @PS3_SM_WAKE_P_O_R: Power on reset.
 *
 * Additional wakeup sources when specifying PS3_SM_NEXT_OP_SYS_SHUTDOWN.
 * The system will always wake from the PS3_SM_WAKE_DEFAULT sources.
 * Sources listed here are the only ones available to guests in the
 * other-os lpar.
