Ok, I don't see anything irregular here. Can you try booting the
original tickless (NO_HZ) configuration without the "nohpet" boot option
and wait >= 5 mins after resume to see whether your machine comes to
life afterall. The 5min means we want to wait until the 32-bit HPET
counter overflows to see whether the timer gets programmed with an event
in the past right after resume.

Thanks.
