This wants to be

Right ?

You would have noticed if that code would have run on an AMD SB700
based machine and i would have been != 0 :)

That restores the setting which you recorded at init time. Why do you
want to do that? There is no point to restore to an eventually borked
state. If we shut down the thing, then we better leave it in a
consistent state rather than something dubious, really.
