'idle' here refers to hlt/mwait. The S3 path isn't an idle path - it is a
platform reset.
We need to load default_xen_spec_ctrl unilaterally on the way back up.
Currently it happens as a side effect of X86_FEATURE_SC_MSR_IDLE or the next
return-to-guest, but that's fragile behaviour.
Conversely, there is no need to clear IBRS and flush the store buffers on the
way down; we're microseconds away from cutting power.
