Thanks for this report.  Artem collected some of his info here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53551 .  Hendrik Haddorp
also reported seeing this issue there.

Artem reported that Windows complains "The system firmware has changed
the processor's memory type range registers (MTRRs) across a sleep
state transition (S4). This can result in reduced resume performance."
 If you have Windows on your system, does it complain the same way?

Can you collect and attach complete dmesg and "lspci -vvv" logs, from
both working and broken kernels, to the bugzilla?  Collect lspci logs
both before and after the sleep; I think Artem saw some differences
between those, and I'm not sure we completely ruled those out.

If anybody can reproduce this reliably enough to bisect it, that would
be a huge help.
