What you sent me ^^^, vs reflow at 72 chars vvv:
On AMD Fam19h Zen3, the branch sampling (BRS) feature must be disabled
before entering low power and re-enabled (if was active) when returning
from low power. Otherwise, the NMI interrupt may be held up for too long
and cause problems. Stopping BRS will cause the NMI to be delivered if
it was held up.
