The DSDT is far from the only bit of the BIOS used during suspend/resume. When you wake up, the system jumps back into the BIOS. An arbitrarily large amount of code can be executed there before control is passed back to the kernel. That's likely to be much more significant. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@srcf.ucam.org
