[PATCH] swsusp: device power management fix
Since at least kernel 2.6.9, if not earlier, swsusp fails to properly suspend and resume all devices. The most notable effect is that resuming fails to properly reconfigure interrupt routers. In 2.6.9 this was obscured by other kernel code, but in 2.6.10 this often causes post-resume APIC errors and near-total failure of some PCI devices (e.g. network, sound and USB controllers). Even in cases where interrupt routing is unaffected, this bug causes other problems. For instance, on one of my systems I have to run "ifdown eth0;ifup eth0" after resume in order to have functional networking, if I do not apply this patch. By itself, this patch is not theoretically complete; my next patch fixes that. However, this patch is the critical one for fixing swsusp's behavior in the real world. Signed-off-by: Barry K.
