Rework the code that waits for a response from the EC.  Use an sx lock
instead of a mutex so we do not unblock it in msleep().  If we do this,
another event could occur, resetting the status register since reads
reset it.  While I'm here, remove the backoff approach.  Instead, sleep
in 10 ms chunks for up to the configured timeout using either DELAY (if
we aren't booted yet) or tsleep.
