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?
