I argued against it; when you're suspended the NMI watchdog is stopped
too. Then again, you've more experience debugging that thing, so if
you think its useful its not much effort adding it.

Ah, I only tagged acpi_processor_ffh_cstate_enter() because I went from
mwait_idle_with_hints(), I suppose acpi_safe_halt() and
acpi_idle_do_entry() itself for the INB method should cover it?

(This being one of the reasons I asked Chris to Cc you; you know this
stuff far better than I do)
