The answer I was looking for is that __entry_deep_sleep calls
start_initialization_book3e which calls the code to handle it.

But why is it driven from sleep.S on 64-bit but not on 32-bit? Why
can't you make it so that the 32-bit TLB setup can be called into in a
similar manner?

Why would a timebase loop require a "far" jump?

How do you know the current delay is adequate in all circumstances (e.g
clock speeds), much less on future chips? Is it documented that a delay
is needed at all, or is this just something that appeared to make it
work? If the latter, what happens if you put the synchronization in,
but leave out the delay?
