Negative,
Konstantin explained the reasons why it's intentionally been set to _D0.

"Actually, I've meant the situation where the system could go down on thermal
(possibly h/w) shutdown during suspend. If the fans stay on during suspend,
where thermal control is possibly not working already, thermal shutdown is less
likely to occur."
(bugzilla #7122)

Also it's possible that the thing has been fixed by other means in 2.6.21-rc2
already, it's just that since the c5a7156959e89b32260ad6072bbf5077bcdfbeee
(by Bob Moore Feb 2nd) commit my laptop hasn't woken up from suspend.

Just finished bisecting that, but it seems that there are future
changes that also have impact. And as I'm writing this I'm still in the
middle of reverting that and checking how the fan works. I'll report
as soon as I'm done with that.

But to summarize, it seems like the fix I represented there is not the
way to go.

cheers,
