I found the culprit. This is not related to the linux-pm tree but with
net-next.
The following patch introduced the issue.

commit 6bdb7fe31046ac50b47e83c35cd6c6b6160a475d
Author: Amerigo Wang <amwang@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Aug 10 01:24:50 2012 +0000

    netpoll: re-enable irq in poll_napi()
   
    napi->poll() needs IRQ enabled, so we have to re-enable IRQ before
    calling it.

AFAICS, it has been fixed by commit
072a9c48600409d72aeb0d5b29fbb75861a06631 which is not yet in linux-pm-next.

I fall into this issue because NETCONSOLE is set, disabling it allowed
me to go further.

Unfortunately I am facing to some random freeze on the system which
seems to be related to CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y.

Disabling one of them, make the freezes to disappear.

Is it a known issue ?

Thanks in advance
