All sorts of other state goes walking as well though - on die device
state for example like the GPU context may well also evaporate or
disappear except for the minimum needed for scanout.

It's not just about the CPU its a system (albeit a SoC in most cases)
going to sleep lock stock and barrel except for IRQ notifications, and in
some cases things like offloaded audio playback.
