 These are triggered by some self tests that run at start up when
 configure in. Although the code is technically correct, they are a little
 sloppy and not very robust. They work now because it runs at boot up
 and the tests do not call anything that might trigger a spurious
 wake up. But that doesn't mean those tests wont change in the future.
 
 It's best to clean them now to make sure the tests used to test the
 internal workings of the system don't cause breakage themselves.
 
 This also quiets the warnings made by the new checks.
