Nothing to do with S3 for asus/kgpe-d16 deprecation.

Platform code (non-AGESA) fam10-15 does not meet 3 of the 3 announced
requirements for next release. Should someone want to maintain
kgpe-d16 on master branch, the decisions on those release requirements
will need to be officially withdrawn. AFAICS, that platform codebase
even suffers from cache coherency issues while executing from
cache-as-ram; there has been indications that increased spinlock usage
in romstage causes boot failures and/or reset loops.

Implementation of HyperTransport requires maintaining some pretty
strange (or poor-quality) code for both static devicetree and PCI
subsystem.
