To clarify the above is about the new functionality to enable deeper
system wide power states. Atm, we don't have a bug related to the above
runtime resume->system suspend sequence, since we explicitly disable gt
power saving/RC6. For deeper power states we have to do the opposite and
leave RC6 enabled and that's what I commented on.
