From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Because suspend-to-idle is always supported and on x86 it is the only way to suspend the system if S3 is not supported by the platform, the kernel attempts to enter low-power S0 idle in the suspend-to-idle flow regardless of whether or not the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag is set in the FADT. However, if that flag is not set, residency counters associated with low-power S0 idle may not count and the platform may refuse to put the EC into a low-power mode, for example. For this reason, print diagnostic messages when the platform should achieve significant energy savings in low-power S0 idle (because the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag is set in the FADT) and when suspend-to-idle becomes the default suspend method (because low-power S0 idle should be equally or more efficient than S3, if available).
