Please don't top-post.

XenServer has code in the qemu acpi path to actually perform timed wake
from S4 by pulling the RTC state out of the hypervisor.  I thought this
had gone upstream to qemu-xen already; now that we're transitioning to
upstream qemu I'm not sure where it should go.  It will certainly need
tidying for upstream qemu as it's very xen-specific.

Cheers,

Tim.
