thanks for looking into this.

So, I just tested the "i8042.nomux" command line option and it seems to
work. Even the touchpad went on after rubbing on it a couple of times
initially.

Then, I booted back into 3.4-rc1 without the above option and here's
what I got again:

It seems the mux controller doesn't resume properly (doh, it says so
:)) so not only mousepad but keyboard is not working too.

Actually, that's not 100% correct: the keyboard does work for a short
period of time (a couple of seconds, judging by the printk timestamps
below) right after I resume and then it stops ...

[ 195.526425] psmouse serio4: bad data from KBC - timeout

[ 207.447644] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input15

.. with the above being the last line on dmesg.

So, I'm ready for suggestions.
