I have a Thinkpad X201s on which suspend-to-RAM was quite reliable until
after 2.6.36-rc1; with problematic kernels, suspend seems to work OK
(the machine goes to sleep with the moon LED steadily lit) but on resume
the LCD never lights up (and it's not just the backlight, the screen
isn't drawing at all) and the keyboard and network are dead.  Nothing
makes it to syslog, either.  The moon LED is turned off though.

There seems to be some timing component to the problem -- some problem
kernels will suspend reliably 25% or 50% of the time and hang the rest.
There also seems to be some per-reboot state involved; one problem
kernel suspended successfully and survived 25 suspends in a row without
triggering a failure.  (But after a reboot, the first suspend hung...)
Other problem kernels fail on 4 out of 4 reboots.

Bisecting is pretty hard under these conditions, but it seems to point
to

Reverting that commit on top of -rc3 seems to fix the problem -- three
reboots so far, no failures yet.

The machine has a "Core(TM) i7 CPU L 640", 4GB of RAM, and BIOS 1.05.
I've attached lspci and dmesg.gz from a successful boot + S2R.
