Top wakeups causers

Lets see what process/interrupt is the most popular for wakeups!

Mine is the nvidia interrupt. This is at >55% of my wakeups all by
itself. This changes to >71% when I use a static background (see next
wakeup). I'm using the 9755 NVidia drivers on a 7300 Go mobile chip.

My second is enlightenment (E17 debian cvs release) when using an
animated background, but it drops to 3rd or 4th when I use a static
background.

Next is cpufreq-set on its queue_delayed_work_on
(delayed_work_timer_fn). Not really sure why this is using up ~15%, or
even showing up at all on the top 10.

And below all of those is Xorg, which seems to be split between
do_setitimer (it_real_fn) and nv_start_rc_timer (nv_kern_rc_timer)
functions.

Currently I don't have bluetooth or wireless (ipw3945) enabled so I'm
not sure what that'll do to these results.

All in all, some very interesting results and I shouldn't be too
surprised that the nvidia binary drivers are so power hungry (or at
least have so many wakeups). Really nifty application, thanks!
