It got ugly.

We finish swsusp_save() and a few other functions then we go

	hibernate
	->platform_finish
	  ->acpi_hibernation_finish
	    ->acpi_leave_sleep_state
	      ->acpi_evaluate_object

and there it dies, in this call:

	status = acpi_evaluate_object(NULL, METHOD_NAME__WAK, &arg_list, NULL);

I wonder how your patch caused that?

<debugs further>

OK, it gets to the last statement in acpi_evaluate_object():

	return_ACPI_STATUS(status);

but doesn't hit the printk on return to the caller,
acpi_leave_sleep_state().

A working theory would be that something we did trashed the stack in
acpi_evaluate_object().

<switches from 8k stacks to 4k. No change>

foo.  I'm not sure what to do now.
