So it seems possible that the timer tick will be enabled before the
timekeeping resume code runs. I'm not sure why this isn't seen w/ ACPI
suspend/resume, as I think they're using the same
sysdev_class .suspend/.resume bits.

Anyway, I think this patch should fix it (I've only compile tested it,
as I don't have my laptop on me right now). Would you mind giving it a
try?

thanks
