Neither soft poweroff (transition to ACPI power state S5) nor
suspend-to-RAM (transition to state S3) works on the Macbook Pro 11,4 and
11,5.
The problem is related to the [mem 0x7fa00000-0x7fbfffff] space. When we
use that space, e.g., by assigning it to the 00:1c.0 Root Port, the ACPI
Power Management 1 Control Register (PM1_CNT) at [io 0x1804] doesn't work
anymore.
Linux does a soft poweroff (transition to S5) by writing to PM1_CNT. The
theory about why this doesn't work is:
- The write to PM1_CNT causes an SMI
- The BIOS SMI handler depends on something in
[mem 0x7fa00000-0x7fbfffff]
- When Linux assigns [mem 0x7fa00000-0x7fbfffff] to the 00:1c.0 Port, it
covers up whatever the SMI handler uses, so the SMI handler no longer
works correctly
Reserve the [mem 0x7fa00000-0x7fbfffff] space so we don't assign it to
anything.
This is voodoo programming, since we don't know what the real conflict is,
but we've failed to find the root cause.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
