Current Windows on Arm platforms (seen on SC8280XP) don’t have _GTS
or _PTS methods, and don’t have sleeping objects either.

As such, I don’t expect any users for that potential functionality. Am I missing something 
or hibernation signalling to firmware (on ARM64) can be made PSCI only indefinitely?
