Sounds good, playing with resources is what I had in mind rather than an 
interrupt count which isn't necessarily safe. The only improvement I 
would suggest is to add this test inside of is_byt_cr(). This routine 
will be moved as a helper outside of sst_acpi to be reused for SOF, so 
if we can make this test more self-contained it's more future-proof.
