Yes, there's some background missing -- both the lid switch detection
and power button detection have proven occasionally unreliable from
inside the kernel, and having them unreliable leads to a confusing state
of seeing the laptop turn on and off again quickly.  The lid bug is:

That's not the main reason for doing it, though; we've always planned
on having the wakeup decision made by the EC, but didn't have the
ability to set the wakeup mask until recently.

- Chris.
