Not sure if I got the message through well, but the bottom line is, on
Qualcomm platforms the "idle" states aren't actually just "idle" (read:
they're not like S0ix). All but the most shallow ones shut down quite a
chunk of the entire SoC, with the lowest ones being essentially S3 with
power being cut off from the entire chip, except for the memory rail.
