Good point. GPIOs are indeed treated separately. (Phew, when I read
your question, I briefly wondered "and what if they aren't preserved
all the way through".)

However, regarding Steppingstone. The 6410 manual says:

| The [SLEEP] exiting sequence is as follows:
[....]

So I wouldn't bet on SD boot to be different. Anyway, I just wanted
be sure we don't accidently depend on a feature that may not be
there.
