Yes, the lid goes through the southbridge.  FYI - the lid is already
being added as a platform device, and we register ourselves as 
"wakeup-able".  you should be able to control that through 
/sys/devices/platform/lid/power/wakeup, though I don't know if anybody
has ever tried it.

It is technically possible, since the signal is routed through the EC,
but I don't know if such a thing has been implemented (or even if such
a thing is desireable).

The power button wakeup can be controlled at the southbridge level, but
though that might also not be desirable since the EC will already have
started a wakeup process when it sees the signal.  I know not what would
happen if the processor didn't wake up when the EC did.

If you do want to try to stick beans up your nose, then
/sys/devices/platform/powerbutton/power/wakeup should be available,
actual functionality may differ, please consult your local kernel for
details and rebate offers.
