We can reduce our exposure to random neutrinos by resting on the kernel context having flushed out the user contexts to system memory and beyond. The corollary is that we then we require two passes through the idle handler to go to sleep, which on a truly idle system involves an extra pass through the slow and irregular retire work handler.
