 This won't quite work, because I want to turn off the BAT SOC events
 before going into idle suspend, and I want to re-enable them on resume.
 Perhaps instead have the sysfs files modify the kernel's internal idea of
 the mask, and then "echo 1 > commit" to commit them to the EC?  (Or
 something similar.)
