UEFI wakealarm

[blind Pete]

Checked the file systems and the packages.  No obvious problems there.  

There is also an init/upstart/systemd dimension.  
/etc/init/hwclock-save.conf does not leave any log records in 
Xeinal (alpha), but it does in Trusty.  

BTW is this a top post list or a bottom post list?
