Very interesting! I've been worried about a similar failure on battery
driven devices that can experience significant voltage droops when
battery gets old, or low, and we turn on the flashlight led, vibrator
and make the screen bright while a high volume ring tone gets played.
I think 10ms is a bit unrealistic. I think its more like 300uSec before
you hit brown out.

Is this some comparator device that tugs on this gpio when the voltage
drops or goes to 0? Is threaded irq fast enough?
Could we consider something that includes a hot path ISR based
notification call back to do stuff like blink off devices that don't
need to save state; backlights, vibrators, flashlight LEDs, audio
output drivers <-- I'm not sure about audio HW, and then a slower path
for other things that can be put into lower power states?
the all-clear notification that power is good again should be on a
slower path I would assume.
