How stable has stop5 proved? I gather this patch is an indication that
we're fairly confident we have stop5 working well enough for an OS to
use?

Is there some way we could write a test from userspace to force a core
into stop5 and out again a bunch of times? Maybe disable all other stop
states, do nothing on it and then check?
