Comment(by cjb):

 > so if i understand this correctly, userspace will have to read and/or
 write (for example) 8 separate files in order to set and/or test one
 byte's worth of data? am i alone in thinking this is a little nutty?

 It's awkward, but not unmanagable.  We're probably only going to write
 four of the bits, with which four depending on what the default is..

 useless. this isn't even arch-specific -- it's _platform_ specific.)

 Well, there may be other devices with configurable wakeup events in the
 future, and their wakeup events may bear some similarity to our own, and
 having files provides for the possibility of that becoming a reusable
 interface.

 Not sure why I'm arguing so much, though; my initial reaction was your
 own.  :)
