would it be ok if you test a 3.0 kernel to see if suspend is more reliable? I 
made some changes which maybe improve resume (in fact, the .38 code always 
failed to resume in 3.0, so it needed a fix).

These look harmless. Seems the EC sends power on events. Maybe we need to ack 
them to let them go away. I may take a look at it later on.

mmh, I just checked it here on 3.0 and it worked as expected. So again, can 
you please test with janimos kernel?

Thanks
