8259A initialization oops after resume

[Jan Rychter <jan-JAsPCFd0eodBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org>]

People are getting a particular kind of oops after resuming from S4
(implemented by swsusp). I'm posting this here, because the problem
seems not to be specific to swsusp.

Hopefully some people on this list will know how and why the 8259A needs
to be initialized upon resuming from S4 and why it fails.

The oops is reproducible -- one may do a number of suspend/resume cycles
without it, but once it appears, it will reappear on every subsequent
resume.

Any ideas?
