After applying the patch against 2.6.30-rc7, my dell d630 box can resume
from suspend(s2ram) or hibernation successfully, and lockdep does not 
complain with the kind of message in

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13245.

Another thing, during resume from hibernation, I can find the following
messages:

	[    1.849584] device: 'network_throughput': device_add
	[    1.849630] PM: Adding info for No Bus:network_throughput
	[    1.849788] PM: Resume from disk failed.
 
I do not known if there is really something wrong in PM, after all my
box can work as before. Attachment is the dmesg info.

Thanks.
