I've tried to revert it and it hangs the same on the suspend/resume, so
I've setted inittab to work only in tty mode, and bisected the
suspend/resume problem from -rc4.

The bad commit is another:


commit 88271da3f3da75d6eaef5e768c82a1627edf7088
Author: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

    drm/i915: re-enable rc6 support for Ironlake+
    
    Re-enable rc6 support on Ironlake for power savings.  Adds a debugfs
    file to check current RC state, adds a missing workaround for Ironlake
    MI_SET_CONTEXT instructions, and renames MCHBAR_RENDER_STANDBY to
    RSTDBYCTL to match the docs.
    
    Keep RC6 and the power context disabled on pre-ILK.  It only seems to
    hang and doesn't save any power.

I've tried to rever it on top of -rc4 to check if the suspend/resume
works, but it doesn't revert clean, and now I don't have the time to
check.

If you need some more information just let me know, anyway this seems
another unrelated problem.
