after applying the patch the system suspended successfully three times in a
row (before i got tired of watching it resume, which takes minutes due to
bios hardware initialization).

i looked in dmesg after a suspend and all the usb debug messages looked
innocuous.

the patch appears to have fixed the problem.  i need to rebuild the
netbook's kernel with the new patch and see if that fixes it, too.  if it
doesn't fix the netboot suspending, then i'll follow-up.

thanks for your time debugging the problem and for the patch!
