There are no dmesg logs because the S3 crash wipes them out. Sleepgraph
isn't actually necessary to activate it, just an S3 suspend "echo mem >
/sys/power/state".

So far it appears to only have affected test systems, not production
hardware, and none of them have TPM chips, so I'm beginning to wonder
if this patch just inadvertently activated a bug somewhere else in the
kernel that happens to affect test hardware.

I'll continue to debug it, this isn't an emergency as so far I haven't
seen it in production hardware.
