Does kernel have something like "sleepy task" interface, e. g. special
mode that is triggered by some sort of interrupt and instead of going to
perform full resume, it just lets a hook to wake up "manually" needed
devices, perform the "sleepy task" and then tell the system whether full
resume is requested?

It can fit for Zaurus battery charging monitoring - timer interrupt
needs to wake just the SPI bus.

But I can imagine a GPS logger using such interface to save energy -
serial interrupt semi-wakes the system each second, but will not go to
do full resume. It just processes NMEA sentence and buffers the result.
Only if buffer becomes full, it issues full resume and writes data
somewhere.
