Agreed. I think the concern is that the event queue will have "stuff" in
it. If the event queue was all a threaded irq we could simply call
synchronize_irq() after disabling the irq bit in the DP hardware and
then we would know it is safe to power down the DP logic. Unfortunately
the event queue is a kthread so we can't do that and we have to rewrite
synchronize_irq() by checking that the event queue is empty and waiting
for it to empty out otherwise. It's not safe enough to simply do the
power operations underneath the event_lock because there's a queue in
the kthread that might be waiting to grab the event_lock to process.
