Hi Matthew,
   and thanks a lot for your quick answer.
   Maybe I messed up with bisect trying to find the origin of two regression.
   One was this. The other one is this one.

   Hibernation (to disk, of course) doesn't work no more.
   Screen blanks and nothing happens. No HD activity, and so on. I also
   waited some minutes.

   Well, bisect blame this commit:

    sony-laptop: cache handles and report them via sysfs

    Avoid calling into acpi each time we need to lookup a method handle
    and report the available handles to ease collection of information when
    debugging issues. Also move initialization of the platform driver
    earlier to allow adding files from other setup functions.

   Do you have any suggestion to better track down this issue?
   It's not possibile to simply revert it.

Thanks a lot for your time,
