The tentative winner for my reboot (and boot) problems appears to be
frequency scaling changes between 2.6.16-rc6-mm2, which worked fine,
and 2.6.16-mm1.  Disabling frequency scaling appears to fix my troubles.
Caveat emptor: intermittent.

(Difficult for me to believe that having this compiled in could do a
number on my p4.  Reverting the hotplug thingie gave me suspend back and
nothing more [as expected].  Color me befuddled.)
