I've started with bc75d33f0 (one commit before d239171e4 in Linus'
tree) but then my system fails to resume.

Whatever I do (change fb/Xorg drivers, disable X, etc.) I always end
up with unusable display and something that looks like hard-locked
system (I haven't tested network connectivity from another box, but
console is surely dead).

Thanks.
