        I'm not concerned that it be a separate GPM (either PSARC or
        LSARC case) action, but that it be supportable during such
        things as lid close/sleep/hibernate.

        Too many GPMs, I presume you mean LSARC 2007/702 GPM.  It would
        be really good to have it specify its architectural operations.
