In released Compaq spec on page 2 "Aditional feutures built into SA-1110
chipset" it says something about "Four general purpose interruptible
timers" sounds interesting, i did not found any information about those
can be used ? Or is it in the SA1110 Developers Manual, something
integrated in the SA1110 that is something that i don't have any knowledge
about. But I will check that now.

However there's a external timer controller that are running the SA1110
will only wakup on programed interrupt source set in the PWER register and
it's only set to GPIO1 that is the Power button on the iPAQ. So it will
not wakeup however a timer is running.

But if it's true that there is a timer running during sleep it should be
turned off to save power.
