Amber is aware of this and was supportive in having Intel open the
specs to enable this hardware.

The nvme driver has weird hooks to support the non-standard open channel
effort, and we let Apple dictate this driver can't have q-word access.
This remapping isn't exactly the first time we're helping non-standard
devices, and Dan's series looks isolated such that it won't harm
compliant ones.

Dan,
I take it you have access to this platform. Would you be able verify if
it can successfully resume from S3 and S4?
