Let's CC netdev and linux-pm since this is obviously a suspend issue,
and may have something to do with ethtool.

Of course now that I'm trying to debug, I am seeing many successful
suspend-resume cycles.  I don't see any signs of difference between the
cases that hung and the cases that are now succeeding.

CCing netdev, because I suspend by running pm-suspend, and in at least
one failure, an ethtool running under pm-suspend seemed to be the
problem:

many processes were stuck in D:
