Process X does :
 - open /dev/rtc0
 - call ioctl(fd, RTC_ALM_SET, &time_of_wakeup)
 - call ioctl(fd, RTC_AIE_ON, 0)
   - either read(fd, &data, sizeof(unsigned long))
   - or does write "mem" > /sys/power/state

 - ... platform sleeps ...
 - alarm time comes up, RTC IP raises the interrupt line
 - because in its pxa_rtc_probe(), the driver called device_init_wakeup(dev, 1),
   the register PWER was set to wakeup the platform if RTC interrupt is raised,
   the platform wakes up

Yes, true, yet how do you set on a specific RTC block the alarm if you have many
of them on the system ?

Cheers.
