I'd prefer to figure out what they're actually doing with it, since
clearly Windows doesn't need this. I'm not especially comfortable with
the S3 video stuff, but it seems safer - I just strongly suspect that
giving vendors a "Please reinitialise video when exiting S3" option will
be abused as a general "Linux" indicator.
