I have the worst luck with bisects.  Halfway through I started seeing
a *different* suspend failure, which led me down the wrong path
ultimately leading to 59a93c27c which was a red herring even though
it even talks about suspend (I had my hopes high when testing that one).

Started over, and ended up in a merge commit containing just a single
patch to slab (210ed9defff). Reverting that on top of 3.7-rc8 doesn't
fix the problem.  Backing up one level of bisect, the other alternative
path was 5b3900cd40, which also didn't help when reverting.

My test was a loop of 100 suspend/resume cycles before calling something
'good'. The 'bad' cases all failed within 10 cycles (usually 2-3).
