Here's a thought. Presumably pm_relax() will end up getting called a
lot more often than pm_get_wakeup_count(). Instead of using a wait
queue, you could make pm_get_wakeup_count() poll at 100-ms intervals.
The total overhead would be smaller.

Here's another thought. If event_count and events_in_progress were
atomic_t then the new spinlock wouldn't be needed at all. (But you
would need an appropriate pair of memory barriers, to guarantee that
when a writer decrements events_in_progress to 0 and increments
event_count, a reader won't see events_in_progress == 0 without also
seeing the incremented event_count.) Overall, this may not be a
significant improvement.
