resume from suspend fails using video card i915 / v2.6.29

[CSights]

Hello,
   After updating to 2.6.29 I was no longer able to resume from a suspend to
disk in KDE 4.2.2.  The kernel is read from disk, but then when entering
graphical mode all I get is a mouse cursor on a black screen.  Moving the
cursor works, but nothing else I tried had an effect. (I remember trying
touch-pad clicking, CTRL-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE).
   I did a git bisect and found the first bad commit to be:
---------------------------
ac048e1734699dd98f4bdf4daf2b9592d4a4d38e is first bad commit

    i915: fix unneeded locking in i915 LVDS get modes code.

    This code is always called under the lock from the higher layers,
    so need to go locking it here.

---------------------------
   I reverted this commit by hand for kernel v2.6.29. The computer once again
successfully resumes.
   The "current" (as of yesterday evening) kernel also shows these symptoms. 
Version 2.6.30-rc2-00446-ga939b96 fails to resume unless the above commit is
reverted.
   Possibly the "lock from higher levels" referred to in the commit was
removed?

Let me know if/what more info is needed,
   C.
