I thought the general design was the bars were made inaccessible
before going to a low power state, and remain inaccessible while it is
in low power?

So the order of D0 doesn't matter. If it is not in D0 then there is no
mappings and zap/revoke is a NOP.

If is it in D0 then it doesn't matter because D0 is a nop.
