Cool, so far have not found any boards here with that
connected. Should be possible to solder that on at least
omap3-evm at some point though.

This probably adds an extra 50 ms latency before we wake up
the smsc911x driver. Maybe we can eventually come up with
some nice solution to that too. Anyways, no objections on
my side for this patch as it provides a nice GPIO wakeirq test
case that can be automated with just ping -c 1 :)
