OK, I'll see about moving it there. Will this still be
controller-specific, or are you suggesting this is something ide ought
to do globally?

I poked around in ide-io.c a little while writing the patch, but my
assumption so far has been that the core ide suspend is OK wrt s2ram,
since I never hear IDE cited as the reason for s2ram failure. Usually
it's ACPI or video problems.

I'm beginning to suspect that the real problem is that everyone who
experiences ide-related hangs when attempting s2ram switches to s2disk,
which sidesteps ide problems since the ide controller stays alive
throughout the process and gets reinitialized on resume. So I guess
ide/s2ram problems could be more common than is widely known.
