Nothing has changed in the USB layer -- it has always been true that

motherboards simply do not provide suspend power to their USB
controllers.  Or the firmware reinitializes the controllers and
attached devices during resume, forcing Linux's USB core to reset
every device on the affected buses.

I know that this is hardware dependent, but the hardware hasn't changed 
here.
