We had better not delete the code that clears the power button event in
course of acpi_suspend_enter. 
This is to avoid that the power button wake event hits the user space.

Maybe the BIOS will set the power button event enable/status bit. And
after the interrupt is enabled, the power button event will hit the
userland. So it is appropriate to clear the power button event as early
as possible.
    Of course it can be cleared in the function of
"acpi_leave_sleep_state_prep". 
   In the following patch the power button event is cleared in the
function of acpi_leave_sleep_state, which is called with the interrupt
enabled.
   IMO this is not appropriate.

Thanks.
