power management experiences with joyride-1572

Hi,

We don't *use* the southbridge RTC wakeup, but it's not strictly true
that we don't support it.  You can set your own wakeups easily:

   # rtcwake -s 120
   <after 30s, the laptop should suspend due to idleness>
   <after another 90s, the laptop should wake itself>

rtcwake is in the OLPC build already.

- Chris.
