Does your motherboard firmware ("BIOS") have an option for that? I think that should be preferred over software solutions.
Otherwise add a file at /etc/pm/power.d/disable_wol to override /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/disable_wol. Or just remove pm-utils.

tl;dr: add the xhci_hcd.quirks=270336 kernel parameter.
