Approved. Some comments from a quick code-review:

- I would expect get_console_activity to look for specific devices, not just the most recently touched (i.e. could see ptmx, xconsole, md1, etc)
- i8042 can be a serial port, I think
- powernapd could use explicit logging output -- right now it just goes to whatever the stdout was.
