I have a few machines at home that have the same problem.
There does seem to be a number of vendor wide issues here. Pretty much
every vaio and every Dell seems to need working around.

I'd point at the acpi dumps, but they're currently switched off and not
responding to wake-on-lan for some reason.
I'll send them when I get back from kernel summit.
