But those are a different errata AFAICT ('An APIC Timer Interrupt
During Core C6 Entry May be Lost') and the workaround should also be
different I think. We should mark the lapic timer as not reliable on
C6 or higher states in lapic_timer_reliable_states, so that it's
disabled before entering sleep?
