OK. MEMLDO is used to keep the SDRAM powerd when we are in pmu-standby.
Doesn't this tell us that we can actually put the pmu into standby when
we suspend and keep _the_ essential component of the otherwise asleep CPU
alive using some voltage regulator ?

One question. Which one of the low power states mentioned in the manual
do we get into when we suspend ?

Ah, ok. Let me remove it and see what happens..
