It is possible for the kernel to hold wake locks for various reasons.  If
you want to see what was holding wake locks while you were unplugged, use
"adb shell dumpsys batteryinfo" and look at the last set of stats (this is
the raw information used to generate the battery usage UI).  However the
kernel wake lock information is extremely hard to understand, and
unfortunately I can't say for sure off-hand how to interpret it. :}
