- * The ACPI spec says to ignore PM1_CTL.SCI_EN (bit 0)

- * as a BIOS workaround on some machines.
+ * For PM1 control, the SCI enable bit (bit 0, SCI_EN) is defined by the
+ * ACPI specification to be a "preserved" bit - "OSPM always preserves this
+ * bit position", section 4.7.3.2.1. However, on some machines the OS must
+ * write a one to this bit after resume for the machine to work properly.
+ * To enable this, we no longer attempt to preserve this bit. No machines
+ * are known to fail if the bit is not preserved. (May 2009)
