Hmm, it would be nice if that comment was in reply to the email in which
it came. At least if it was in the same thread..

Many systems have > 1 _possible_ wakeup devices (keyboard, touchscreen,

device that actually woke the system up, which is in direct conflict with
what I've always assumed - that when a system wakes up, it is caused by a
single device (and if there were multiple events, like a key press *and* a
mouse movement, it's doesn't really matter)..
