Bisection shows that this patch
(pci-check-that-mwi-bit-really-did-get-set.patch in Greg's PCI tree) breaks
suspend-to-disk on my Vaio.  It writes the suspend image and gets to the
point where it's supposed to power down, but doesn't.

After a manual power-cycle it successfully resumes from disk, but
networking (at least) is dead.
