"alarm" is ACPI specific and /sys/power/alarm is not a good idea. In addition, it can't handle multiple RTCs as David described. So, if the new rtc-cmos driver written by David works well, this's not needed any more. :) "wakeup" attribute for ACPI wakeup devices is in the wish list. 1. Try to map ACPI devices to the physical devices. It's not very easy, as we can not find a generic method to map ACPI wakeup devices to physical devices. So I have to divide them into several groups, e.g. PCI, legacy serial, legacy PS2, etc. And verify which group the ACPI device belongs to. 2. add "wakeup" properly to /sys/device/(not ACPI)/... I'll investigate the possibility of integrating this one into /sys/device/.../power/wakeup. 3. consolidate all wakeup devices in one place for convenience. E.g. /sys/power/wakeup/, symbolic links with useful names. (note that links here are from "real" devices node in sysfs, so it's a generic interface for systems both w/ and w/o ACPI) 4. remove /proc/acpi/wakeup, since it's replaced by /sys/power/wakeup/... > Patch 06: > add ACPI info in sysfs which indicates ACPICA version. > /sys/firmware/acpi/info is create and /proc/acpi/info is marked as deprecated. I'll refresh the patch 01,02,06 and resend them.
