I don't think it can buy us full coverage; there are embedded devices
that lack RTC, and it's rather rare that they have IPMI support
(dunno if they typically have wol support).

Devices that have USB host mode could possibly be wakened by simulating
an USB HID-device, at least for devices that can be configured to wake
on keypress.

Other than that though, guess the options are either to hardwire the
devices to wake on power-on and do hard power-cycle using a fake-battery
(if testing battery powered devices) or a remote controlled power
socket.
