Lowest power mode for an external interrupt with nRF51822?

Our system will awake from an external accelerometer interrupt, so I would need a code fragment which shuts down S110 soft device (and radio of course) and also all the nRF51822 peripherals, as well as RAM retention. Even the real time clock is not needed. The CPU only needs to awake by the external interrupt. My related questions are:

  1. What is the needed code to do that, can I still use sd_app_evt_wait()?
  2. What should I expect as the current consumption in that state?
  3. Further, what is the code to get the system up and running again?
