This 12-year-old bug prevents some modern processors from achieving
maximum power savings during suspend. For example, Lunar Lake systems
gets 0% package C-states during suspend to idle and this causes energy
star compliance tests to fail.

According to Intel SDM, for the local APIC timer,
1. "The initial-count register is a read-write register. A write of 0 to
   the initial-count register effectively stops the local APIC timer, in
   both one-shot and periodic mode."
2. "In TSC deadline mode, writes to the initial-count register are
   ignored; and current-count register always reads 0. Instead, timer
   behavior is controlled using the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR."
   "In TSC-deadline mode, writing 0 to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR disarms
   the local-APIC timer."

Stop the TSC Deadline timer in lapic_timer_shutdown() by writing 0 to
MSR_IA32_TSC_DEADLINE.
