It also seems to work... well, all the changes that aren't run in fast
reboot path seem to not terribly break things, and at least on the
surface look good.

So, I think I agree that this should be good to merge... and I've got a
patch to op-test I'm about to push that enables the fast reboot test on
P9.

With luck, in the new year, we can look at turning this on by default on P9.

I had to make one fixup for 'make check', but other than that:
Merged to master as of acf2c345a98d47c85a5d836a9cca0257c3adc890.

I do suspect we have a bug somewhere on ZZ though... but I did just
update my ZZ's fsp build, so anything could be wrong :)
