This is almost exactly what my stuff is doing. Even though I implemented it in 
a generic way, so that everybody can have their own wakeup mechanism, since 
there are some mainboards, which don't support the nvram-wakeup stuff (like 
my epox 8k5a2).

So, as there is interest in that things, I'll gonna start working on that 
again later this day. Hope to have a working patch tonight or tomorrow.

take care, have fun
