Interesting, I was assuming the following:

    Button --> [PMC domain 2] --> [GPIO domain]

based on the hardware documentation that maps the wake events to
specific signals on the chip.

This looks interesting. I'm going to give that a try, though it may take
me a little to rework everything.

There's a fixed mapping for which signals go to which wake event. Some
of those events are mapped to GPIOs, others to different signals, such
as the RTC alarm. I think I should be able to build a GPIO -> PMC map
at runtime using a static table.
