Thanks.
To make it easier for everyone to diagnose such problems, it would be
great if every switching between power save modes would be written to
the kernel log (when console_loglevel is KERN_DEBUG)
If APST is culprit, we would have seen the change in the power state
in the kernel logs before the message "nvme nvme0: controller is
down;".
