   If it has to be in kernel, /sys/power is probably ok.

Doh! The attached patch introduces /sys/class/misc (along with some bug-fixes.)
In case I'll change it again.

Ah, there is still a time-warp bug pending. In practice I have to turn off the

   But I still believe it can be out.

Do you believe it could be a user-space daemon or what?
