Re: 2.6.15-rc5-mm1 (x86_64-hpet-overflow.patch breaks resume from disk)

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@novell.com>]

It's a possible way to address this, but I'd rather just set a flag
indicating that the last-whatever values should not be considered (to
get into a state just like after initial boot). Jan

FWIW, I have tried to fix it myself.

The appended patch seems to work on my box, but I'm afraid
it's not the right fix (at least in general).  Please advise.
