wake event?

[Brian Perkins <bperkins-ooduxAEi7gVg9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org>]

I've started playing around with the acpid socket for writing power
management clients.

One deficiency that I've noticed is that events don't arrive while the 
machine is sleeping (not too surprising).  This means that things like 
ac status monitors will be incorrect if the ac status changes while we 
are sleeping.

It might be nice to deliver a wake event to /proc/acpi/event so clients
can know that they can update properly.

I thought about writing a patch to do this, but I had trouble deciding
what arguments ought to be given to acpi_bus_generate_event (device 
e.g.), and where it should be done.  Perhaps this is because this 
feature is somewhat outside the scope of what was originally intended 
the interface.

Any thoughts?
