So with ~2+msec spent in the loop, it seems to be not working as intended b/c we end up spending a lot more time in the loop, which in turn contributes to this issue not being seen on upstream kernels.

> On a second thought, I was doing it wrong in the initial RFC. Can't do a wait_for_register with irqs disabled by local_irq_disable(). So, will have to *poll* the PSR_STATE, but will that be desirable ?

Do it before disabling the irqs? As long as we prevent it from
re-entering PSR after the wait it should be safe. Maybe the vblank irq
is the best way to prevent the re-entry?
