It's great you found some suspend stability, but on 2.6.24 / stable
there is zero doubt it is purely random chance build by build.  I would
guess that's why you can 'tune' stability by just removing patches that
affect the resume race by timing, even though the patches themselves
have no direct impact on suspend otherwise.  I found I could make or
break a 2.6.24 kernel for suspend merely by adding printk()s around.

Real solution is coming closer in stable-tracking for these problems
hopefully, although right now accel comms is completely broken in there.
~ But it should be straight in next couple of weeks kind of timeframe.
