The state being waited for varies from time to time and is only
partially related to power.status.  Instead of using a completion I
suppose we could have used a new "transition_complete" variable
together with a waitqueue.  Would you prefer that?  It's effectively
the same thing as a completion, but without the nice packaging already 
provided by the kernel.
