Mmm.. Rafael's patch appears to be part of a large series of 15 patches,
and it's not totally clear to me how to test just that part of it,
so I think I'll leave things as is (working!) for now.

Here's my current fix:

-- snip --

Regarding commit 7ed92f1a149dddc3cb537ccd7441e98adac12c3e
"USB: make the autosuspend workqueue thread freezable":

This commit causes USB lockups on resume from Suspend-to-RAM
on my Core2duo notebook.  Applying the patch below to revert
the commit fixes the problem for me in 2.6.22-rc3.
