Comment:

 So, this is still very slow.  Richard, do you have a faster way for us to
 set the EC mask yet?

 If not, I'll paper around the problem by setting it before we start
 suspending in idle suspend (and setting it back if we end up not
 suspending after all) and then waiting until the UI is responsive again
 before resetting it when we come out of idle suspend, to avoid blocking on
 setting the mask.  This won't affect the slowness when someone hits the
 power button, though, so I'd much rather make it faster in all cases..
