SubjectRe: [PATCH] Fix reloading GDT on ACPI S3 wakeup (fwd)
Hi!

> This patch - based on

> makes ACPI S3 wakeup work for me on a ThinkPad T40p laptop with a SMP
> kernel. Without it only UP kernels work. I've been using the patch for
> three months now without any issues.

Actually x86-64 needs this, too. Any testers?
