Yeah, having all of the MSI-X entry values be all-1's is not a good
sign.

But this is quite a curious set of debugging traces we now have.

In the working case, the vector number in the DATA field seems
to change, which suggests that something is assigning new values
and programming them into these fields at resume time.

But in the failing cases, all of the values are garbage.

I would expect, given what the working trace looks like, that in the
failing case some values would be wrong and the DATA value would have
some new yet valid value.  But that is not what we are seeing here.

Weird.
