I think that a driver can do the request to a the gpio layer (may can be implemented
by the gpio-lib ) and give it only the gpio. The "gpio-lib" can save and restore
the status of the gpio, and request the handler, passing the gpio-id as 
a data. So when the handler fire, we can now which peripheral is
interested on the wake-up event.

Yes, I haven't done a lot of test to see how many chars are lost (sure one I think). 
Depends on the time spent after

 /* Wait for interrupt to wake us up */ 
  mcr p15, 0, r0, c7, c0, 4
