I understand why your hardware need SADR. Most systems DDR self-refresh
mode needs to be setup by firmware.

There is no chance that it may break real hardware. When firmware supplied
SADR it will always use SADR. The fallback only happens when _S3 method exist
but no SADR supplied, which won't happen on real hardware.

For QEMU we don't have stub firmware but standard compliant SEEP_CTL is
sufficient for entering sleep mode, thus we need this fallback path.

Thanks
