Actually, my reading of comment #19 is that bus mastering might quite easily
prevent C3. But there are too many unknowns.

Possible, but even if that's the case, I'd be surprised if that would account
for significantly more bus mastering activity than the normal CP processing.
Anyway, bug 6939 comes to mind, e.g., might be interesting to try if Option
"RenderAccel" "off" makes a difference, although I'd expect that to affect MMIO
as well.
