This is with /sys/power/disk set up for "shutdown";
the system didn't actually shut down, it restarted
the CPU right after snapshotting.

Stopping tasks: ===================|

Restarting tasks... done

I've not had time to try that on other systems.  Reverting
the change to map PCI states didn't improve things.

To an file that was just added recently, making it more
like the other file in that same directory.

It is one value -- a set!  OK, the active member
of that set is distinguished.  The power/state file
could do the same thing (but the active state
there would always be "on").
