starting a shutdown should immediately inhibit lid button response

[Sergio Callegari]

Usage case:

Mr. A has a laptop. After some work, he click on the user interface asking the laptop to _shutdown_.
After that he closes the lid.

The laptop does not shutdown, but starts the shutdown procedure, then starts sleeping while at it.

When Mr. A opens the laptop, the laptop either crashes (because it is not expected to recover halfway through a shut down procedure) or resumes from sleep, but jut to complete the shutdown procedure and switch off, which is not really what is expected.

IMHO, asking to shutdown should immediately inhibit any other acpi event until the shutdown is completed.
