The spec you shared also defines device constraints (function 1). It would be very
useful if these constraints could be parsed and compared against the actual power
states of devices on the system at least for debugging purposes. I'm not sure if you
already had a plan for that in a future series.

Although the spec you shared refers to PNP0D80/INT33A1 in the context
of LPIT, the PNP0D80 device is not "only" used for low power S0. It's
available on systems that don't support modern standby too.

I for example see it on a system running Windows that does not support
modern standby such as the Precision 5510.

All of the ASL executed in PNP0D80 is guarded with a check
whether or not that low power idle supported bit has been set and whether
or not running on an OSPM that exported a group of features indicating it
should support it to ensure its run in the right context.

Since Linux responds as the latest group of Windows features but doesn't
look at ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 yet to determine whether to default to
suspend to idle i'm a little worried about developing more unexercised code
paths specific to Linux.

For example:
System has ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 set, but also supports S3
(such as XPS 9360)
* On Windows PNP0D80 should be used, all ASL code specific to
modern standby will be run.
* On Linux (with current patch) if a user invokes S3, PNP0D80 doesn't get used
[Win7 should still be using this PNP0D80 codepath, not used by Linux]

* On Linux (if PNP0D80 was supported on all systems but) a user invoked
S3, PNP0D80 functions would be run.
[This should be an undefined behavior since the ASL would run the modern
standby related code but then go into S3]

And yes I realize have argued both for and against exporting PNP0D80 to more
systems above.

I think the proper way to align to Windows behavior is recognize PNP0D80 on
all systems and also look at ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 at the same time to
align using S2I instead of S3 by default.

Perhaps this is best placed in a follow up patch that can be easily reverted without
messing up the wonderful work you've done so far in case my idea ends up causing
other regressions that are not yet envisioned.

Since there is a separate event specifically for the screen being turned off
I think it would make sense to also export this so that the graphics stack
could potentially also call this in the future.

In the short term it makes sense to me to call it from the ACPI driver immediately
before resiliency like now though.
