I figured out that the slowdown occurs in device_resume(), so I put a printk() 
in dpm_resume(), like this:

+               printk("%ld\n",  jiffies/HZ);
                list_del_init(entry);

                if (!dev->power.prev_state)

As you can see, the difference between the first and the last timestamp is 22.  
However, if I make the same change in 2.6.9-rc2-mm1, I get:

so the difference between the first and the last timestamp is 1 (ie 22 times 
less).

Now, I have no idea about what may be responsible for such a slowdown, but I 
suspect that it's related to PCI.  I really don't know what to look for, so 
if you can give me any hint, please do.
