<grumble>Well, its a bit late for this since (a) stuff has rapidly

Thinking about what's probably happening, I suspect all the ARM suspend
and resume code needs to be reworked to save more state. I'll try to
cook up a patch tomorrow to fix it, but I'll need you to provide
feedback.

Please note that you may see other ARM breakage over the next month
or so - I'm going to be concentrating on merging ARM SMP support,
and whatever bashing other people like yourself can give the kernel
will help ensure that problems are picked up quickly.
