after applying this patch from jiri as well as the patch from alan, I
can now suspend and resume, and the patch from alan seems to work too,
but I have no idea if it executed.
BTW, I get junk out the serial port with the first bits of printk (and
during resume from S3 too) but then something manages to init the
serial port to the right speed and text starts coming out correctly.
