 From rsmith:

 So looking my EC logs from the newer joyrides I see that there are like 6
 repeat calls for setting up the mask.  This is very non-optimal. Without
 the fastpath EC code you are talking about 100ms or so of EC command time
 with fastpath its still going to be 25 or 30ms.

 Just seems silly to me.  Why can we not also have a control that echos a
 single hex value?  Just like the SCSI debugging code.

 (Note that this isn't so urgent, because it only affects entering "sleep",
 and not leaving it.  It's still a waste, though.
