isn't serio the PS/2 stuff?

(serio was an issue during boot as well due to some interesting rcu
delays btw)

what do you mean by this? what would you like to see ?
(I have a separate graph for resume.. but the graphing program does not
show those things that take so short to resume that the font to print
the name would be less than a pixel; can fix that)

[fwiw I care more about resume speed than suspend speed, but obviously
am happy if both get fixed... just resume tends to be much more user
interesting, just like getting out of the idle loop matters more than
getting into it]
