Well, this would result in more cost, as read requires a sync.

If any, we can use the cached write/update.  But this assumes that the
hardware never clears the value by some operation internally.

Hm, looking at the code, we have already pin_eld->lock in
hdmi_present_sense().  This can be used in other places, too.

(And pin_eld->monitor_present change at the beginning of
 hdmi_present_sense() should be protected in the mutex, too...)

Well, there is such a call but currently specific to Haswell because
it hasn't been tested for others.  Maybe we can simply get rid of
is_haswell() check there.
