If you manage to get a chance to do this after the merge window closes,
that would be much appreciated.

I have a T400 now, which will help with certain things (at least I have
a machine on which I can test suspend/resume). But I don't think I can
reproduce your panic on it.

Dirk reported the same panic, but we've just turned his iommu back on
and completely failed to reproduce the problem -- so I'm kind of stuck.
