I think, there is a device connected to the connector on the
motherboard, to which the reset button would normally be attached.

I'm not sure how to tell whether C states are disabled/enabled.
What would those BIOS options typically be called?

Also, should I enable or disable them, in order to workaround those
errata that you mention?

Should those errors have occurred with xen 3.x as well, if those were a
result of the errata you mention?
