Hang on. Didn't we already have a related issue with the acpi video
device being resumed before the video card, resulting in an SMI that
hung the system? I thought we'd arranged things such that resuming the
ACPI video device wouldn't actually do anything until after the PCI
device had been handled? It seems like the correct thing is definitely
for it to be suspended before and resumed after...
