this is the important clue part afaics.

some of these very old Atom's had issues (bios?) with S3 if the cores were in a too-deep C state,
and at some point there was a workaround (I forgot where in the code) to ban those deep
C states around S3 on those cpus. I wonder if moving things around has made said workaround
ineffective.....
