Well, perhaps you could take my branch at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git pm-acpi

which was included into the Len's pull, for 3.5?

It was ready a few days ago, and has been present in linux-next even longer
and contains fixes for real bugs.  I didn't push it myself, because it
generally is ACPI material, but since you're not going to take the Len's
tree now, can you please consider taking that branch at least?
