The decrementer is a sort of timer that counts down and once it
overflows raises an exception in the CPU. Like a timer interrupt, but
not coming from anything external. We need to be able to make sure we
don't get a decrementer exception at some spots.

Also, we need to call some platform function things at that point to
prepare the system for suspend, and it needs to be done with interrupts
enabled but after all devices are suspended.
