I finally got around to testing the updated wakeup event hooks for rtc-cmos,
and they follow in two patches:

 - Interface update ... when a simple enable_irq_wake() doesn't suffice,
   the platform data can hold suspend/resume callback hooks.

 - ACPI implementation ... provides callback hooks to do ACPI magic, and
   eliminate the legacy /proc/acpi/alarm file.

The interface update could go into 2.6.21, but that's not essential; they
will be NOPs on most PCs, without the ACPI stuff.

I suspect the ACPI folk may have opinions about how to merge that second
patch, and how to obsolete that legacy procfs file.  I'd like to see that
merge into 2.6.22 if possible...

As for how to kick it in ... two ways:

 - The appended "rtcwake" program; updated since the last time it was
   posted, it deals much better with timezones and DST.

 - Write the /sys/class/rtc/.../wakealarm file, then go to sleep.

For some reason RTC wake from "swsusp" stopped working on a system where
it previously worked; the alarm setting appears to get clobbered.  But
on the bright side, RTC wake from "standby" worked on a system that had
never been able to resume from that state before ... IDEACPI is my guess
as to why it finally started to work.  It's the old "two steps forward,
one step back" dance, I guess.

 * rtcwake -- enter a system sleep state until specified wakeup time.
 *
 * This uses cross-platform Linux interfaces to enter a system sleep state,
 * and leave it no later than a specified time.  It uses any RTC framework
 * driver that supports standard driver model wakeup flags.
 *
 * This is normally used like the old "apmsleep" utility, to wake from a
 * suspend state like ACPI S1 (standby) or S3 (suspend-to-RAM).  Most
 * platforms can implement those without analogues of BIOS, APM, or ACPI.
 *
 * On some systems, this can also be used like "nvram-wakeup", waking
 * from states like ACPI S4 (suspend to disk).  Not all systems have
 * persistent media that are appropriate for such suspend modes.
 *
 * The best way to set the system's RTC is so that it holds the current
 * time in UTC.  Use the "-l" flag to tell this program that the system
 * RTC uses a local timezone instead (maybe you dual-boot MS-Windows).

This patch:

Make rtc-cmos do the relevant magic so this RTC can wake the system from a
sleep state.  That magic comes in two basic flavors:

 - Straightforward:  enable_irq_wake(), the way it'd work on most SOC chips;
   or generally with system sleep states which don't disable core IRQ logic.

 - Roundabout, using non-IRQ platform hooks.  This is needed with ACPI and
   one almost-clone chip which uses a special wakeup-only alarm.  (That's
   the RTC used on Footbridge boards, FWIW, which don't do PM in Linux.)

A separate patch implements those hooks for ACPI platforms, so that rtc_cmos
can issue system wakeup events (and its sysfs "wakealarm" attribute works on
at least some systems).
