This would be especially useful for a class of embedded systems that
are woken up from deep sleep by an asynchronous interrupt controller.

Usually GPIO(-ish) lines are armed and the system put to sleep, and
when it comes up, the information of what line woke it up is there in a
special register, but the actual (synchronous) interrupt line is no longer
asserted or edge triggered, so an interrupt need to be inserted.
