Thanks Adam for this new kernel,

I just tested it and it seems to fix the problem with the
suspend/resume black screen on my Vaio VPCZ12C5E with 1600x900 screen
on the Intel GPU.

But some ACPI thing seem to have disappeared because I can't anymore
modify backlight and read CPU temperature.

Maybe I missed something or did something wrong during the
installation of the new kernel. Though I didn't test very intensively
for the moment.
