Right, however "D_LCK can be set to 1 via a normal configuration space
write but can only be cleared by a Full Reset."  A Full Reset is the
PLTRST# pin, which is asserted by the south bridge during power-up and
during CF9h reset.  S3 doesn't seem to be included.

My reading of the EDK2 whitepaper is that this may vary for other chipsets.
