Hi Tesla-dev,

There are at least 3 mechanisms we can use to implement Suspend/
Resume support with Deep C-States.

callb:
    A cpr callback handler can be registered in hpet_acpic.c or
    the cpudrv.

DDI_SUSPEND/DDI_RESUME:
    common/io/cpudrv.c implements driver attach and detach
    entry points with DDI_SUSPEND/DDI_RESUME.
    This could call platform specific code.

cbe_suspend/cbe_resume:
    The Cyclic BackEnd has suspend/resume entry points.
    These could suspend/resume the HPET device.



The cbe_suspend/resume interfaces may be best if we only
want to S/R the HPET device but not the Deep C-State code
in cpudrv.

The cpudrv DDI_SUSPEND/DDI_RESUME may be the
best option because it will allow the cpudrv to disable/enable
Deep C-State idle entry?

Regards,
Bill
