After a quick look at the suspend functions, I have the feeling that 
those functions only store and restore BATs 0 to 3.

Could you build your kernel with CONFIG_PPC_PTDUMP and see in file 
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/segment_registers how many IBATs registers are 
used.
If any of registers IBATs 4 to 7 are used, could you adjust 
CONFIG_ETEXT_SHIFT so that only IBATs 0 to 3 be used, and check if 
suspend/resume works when IBATs 4 to 7 are not used ?

Thanks
Christophe
