Why two workqueues?  What is deadlocking?  And why name one "power" and
one "event"?  What do they now do differently?  How are you serializing
events across the workqueues as they can be doing the same thing at the
same time to the same hardware now, right?

What am I missing?

Ick, I said I wasn't going to read anymore, I'm really stopping now.
Sorry, it's like watching a train-wreck, you just can't turn away...
