Ok, I think this is an oops, and since it's bisected down to the same 
commit that some other oopses were bisected down to at boot-time, it's 
probably the same thing: something is calling "netif_wake_queue()" without 
having called "netif_start_queue()".

Or, to be more precise, in the case of suspending, something has probably 
called "dev_deactivate()" because of a link event or something like that, 
which seems to be a total piece-of-sh*t code that sets the qdisc back to 
the "illegal" noop_qdisc (thus causing oopses if some qdisc event 
happens), but does so *before* al the qdisc's have been quiesced (which it 
must do - because otherwise they may keep coming), so the same problem 
that plagued netif_wake_queue() will happen.

I don't really know the code very well (I'm waiting for David to fix up 
the mess), but I can imagine that the appended patch may at least turn the 
dead machine into a single warning and hopefully a working setup. Can you 
please try?
