Suspend to ram isn't supported by the system, disk is the only
available /sys/power/state.

Attached, it was the only log I saw that had bootup through the tsc
marked unstable.  Looking at the log I assume I booted to a shell,
hibernated, resumed, then ran init, in that case the system is as
fresh and idle as it gets.  This system's been up for two months and I
don't reboot much so I don't remember for sure.
