The patch as is conflicts with the changes I have queued up for 2.6.33
(they'll appear in linux-next after I've fixed all build issues, hopefully
tomorrow).  For one example, we're dropping swsusp.c altogether.

Also, I'm not a big fan of automatic conversions from printk() to
pr_something() other than pr_debug().

Thanks,
Rafael
