I'd hope not, but it depends on what Windows does on resume. If it 
doesn't do the SMM call and just does the register write instead, then 
it may be that some machines are on that list because the SMM call 
breaks them rather than because they need the register to be set by 
hand. I'm planning on instrumenting it to check, but haven't had time to 
do so yet.
