More documentation is cool. In this case, though, I'm left with an immediate question: *why* am I interested in wakealarm? Reading through, I eventually figure out that it can maybe be used to get a system to start up at some point in the future, maybe. It seems like that should be said at the outset.
Also; why do I want to migrate from /proc/acpi/alarm?
