I've been running with CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE=y for a good while, but that
didn't help getting for example the result of the following printks to
the VGA console (0x3bc is the parallel port):

@@ -445,34 +446,66 @@ int hibernation_platform_enter(void)
* hibernation_ops->finish() before saving the image, so we should let
* the firmware know that we're going to enter the sleep state after all
*/
+ printk ("hibernation_ops->begin()...\n");
+ outb(16, 0x3bc);
error = hibernation_ops->begin();
+ outb(17, 0x3bc);
+ printk ("hibernation_ops->begin(): %d\n", error);
if (error)
goto Close;

However, my dmesg is full of lines like

agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: preparing freeze
pci 0000:00:00.1: preparing freeze
pci 0000:00:00.3: preparing freeze

etc., I'll check it they are the same all the time. Anyway, the above
printk strings aren't present in dmesg after a successful resume even,
so I must be doing something wrong... The parport pins do change, though.
Maybe explicit levels would work better? I can't see any other
difference from the pm_dev_dbg macro producing the above lines.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check this too.
