goa-daemon is waking up 2 times a second and contributing to global warming

goa-daemon is causing a lot of wakeup events on raring. I'm seeing ~2 wakeups a second which seems excessive. What is it doing?

I've straced it and I see the following:

so it seems quite busy on an eventfd for some reason.

Anyhow, can we see if we can reduce this excessive amount of wakeups? I'd hate to see this chew up my battery for no reason at all.
