It's tightly coupled to requests, adding in an external call seems
troublesome.

What's the reason for depending on the CSR being loaded? The old fw is
broke no matter what, it doesn't get any more broken by us holding a
powerwell wakeref. I think we should go for simplicity and always take
the powerwell along with the rpm?
