Great point, agreed will drop it.

Yup! Great catch.

Yeah; true.  I will add this.

amd-pstate-ut will change modes, so I expect this is the reason it 
happens.  It's also the reason I didn't catch it.  I always started in 
active when I was testing switching to passive.

The reason I had in mind for it was this sequence:
* Suspend
* CPU goes offline
* CPU goes online
* Resume

But I don't think that's realistic even with parallel boot.  I will drop 
this.
