That then doesn't include interrupt latency. The nice thing about the amlat tests is that the test predicts when the next interrupt should occur, then measures the time between that prediction and the process running in userspace. If you just timestamp at wakeup, you miss all the time between interrupt generation and noticing that the process is to wake up.
