Possibly the resume fix in the APIC merge :-/

It's these commits:

31dce14a3269: x86, ioapic: Use ioapic_saved_data while enabling intr-remapping
4c79185cdb14: x86, ioapic: Allocate ioapic_saved_data early
b64ce24daffb: x86, ioapic: Fix potential resume deadlock

The first one fixes the resume bug in an easily backportable way (although the
GFP_ATOMIC is not nice), the later two do it cleaner.

So if b64ce24daffb works for you and 31dce14a3269 breaks this would signal that
the fix from Suresh is the source of the Atom regression.

Thanks,

Ingo
