No, it doesn't.  I try to hibernate, everything works to the point where the
screen goes off and the box hangs (solid).  Normally, it would turn the
screen back on and continue with saving the image.

But, since that happens with the patch above applied, I think it doesn't
really pass the suspend phase (IOW, it probably hangs somewhere in the radeon's
suspend routine).
