Which is interesting indeed. Hardware was powercycled, so what is
broken is probably some kernel state...

[Evil: /sys/devices/cpu/ -- some perf stuff.
       /sys/devices/system/cpu -- that's where real CPU stuff is
       hiding.]

cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1
while true; do echo 0 > online; echo 1 > online; done

...crashes x60 with 4.10-rc in few minutes. [Which is bad -- it should
not die, but also good -- this is easier to reproduce then running 100
suspend cycles.]
