The code that uses these is "__save_processor_state" and
"__restore_processor_state". To test the viability of removing
them, I did a very simple patch (see attached) and found
out that omitting those calls on AMD machines at least (hadn't
tried Intel yet) crashes the machine.
Interestingly enough, skipping the cr3, cr2, and cr0 loads in
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S worked fine!?
