This actually turns out to be an s2idle regression on the reporter's machine
that was introduced between 4.11-rc1 and 4.13 and appears to be related to NVMe
(and specifically to the particular Hynix 512G NVMe SSD in that machine).

Due to the lack of reproducibility, we need the reporter to bisect it to
make progress (on his system it appears to be reproducible 100% of the time).

Thanks,
