In fact, I was not exactly right when I said that.

We don't do that in the image kernel, but the restore kernel started
in order to load the image, actually evaluates _OSC (as part of its
initialization, which is the same as on a fresh boot).  So we do
evaluate _OSC on *wakeup* from S4 which is what the specifications
require IMO.

What may be problematic is that we silently assume that the responses from
the firmware received in the process will always be the same last time.

The fact that in our case resume from hibernation involves two instances of
the kernel doesn't make things more straightforward in that respect, so to
speak.

We just need to assume that whatever the restore kernel sees will match
what the image kernel saw before hibernation - or we need a special
protocol to pass that information between the two kernels which is
not there ATM (and I would like to see clear evidence that it really is
necessary before attempting to invent one).
