Thanks.

Do we know if Google add the wakelock code because they will have
complex multistep transactions in kernel space?

If they do plan this we should find how to live with it, because the
wakelocks are going to be needed then to protect the kernel-side
transactions.

If it's only working around stuff we know we can do by cooperation in
userspace, basically by filtering before issuing the suspend action, and
you can arrange that in Android, then we don't need it (although I
wonder if all the potential races there are really take care of).
