If restore_state breaks printing then it's essentially useless. I think we
need to discover what's going on, and either fix it so it works or remove it
altogether.
Worse than that, though, if restore_state is outlawed then drivers are just
going to have to do something morally equivalent by hand.
Can you remind me exactly what the symptoms of the breakage were?
