OK, this patch alone doesn't fix the problem, ie. I was able to reproduce it
with this patch applied, but it decreases the probability of a failure.

_However_, when I added two more patches to the mix:
- a patch that moved the PCI Express port suspend and resume to functions
executed with interrupts disabled
- a patch that moves the restoration of the PCI config space in snd_hda_intel
to a ->resume_early() callback
I'm not able to reproduce the problem any more (I did over 20
hibernation-resume cycles with this combination of patches applied with
occasional suspend-to-RAM-resume cycles in between and there were no problems
resuming).

I'm going to post the three patches in a separate thread for discussion.

Thanks,
Rafael
