I've no strong objections or concerns. I'm disappointed that the
original root cause for this could not be found but hope that eventually a
reproducible test case will eventually be available. Despite having access
to a 4-socket box, I was still unable to create a workload that caused
large delays on wakeup. I'm going to have to stop as I don't think it's
possible to create on that particular machine for whatever reason.
