I don't think that is a good config.  In general you want APIs
to express behavior, and in that case that is goes to sleep and
wakes all the time.  So we need go figure out what causes this in
Android systems - I don't think it can be the hardware, so it must
be a policy set somewhere either in the kernel or fed into the kernel
by userspace.  Then we can key it off that, and I suspect it is
probably going to be a runtime variable and not a config option.
