okay - i just wanted to keep your options maximally flexible, it's code 
you maintain, we are just trespassing :)

the commit will eventually show up in linux-next via tip/auto-x86-next. 

Given that it's all pretty uncontroversial, we might as well send it 
upstream after -rc1 - this is an isolated debug feature. (and a much 
desired one to begin with. We could even get printks out of terminally 
hung suspend/resume laptops this way i think!)

Any objections to that course of action?
