[tlinux-users:08645] Slow suspend on M500/Satellite U200/U205/Tecra M5/M7/M3 and maybe M4/M6

Up until recently suspend  has taken 5 minutes for me on my Portege M500.

A patch to fix this is in the 2.6.23 kernel.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7780

I have backported that patch to the Ubuntu Feisty kernel (2.6.20).  You
can see details at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90771

The patch currently includes the following laptops:

    * Portege M500
    * Satellite U200
    * Tecra M5
    * Tecra M7
    * Satellite U205
    * M3

I suspect the problem also occurs on the M4
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=222921) and probably by
association on the M6.

I have also applied the original patch to the Ubuntu Gutsy kernel
(2.6.22).  See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/139045

The patches and Ubuntu binary packages for testing are available at

http://203.143.225.228/feisty/
http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/

If there are any M4/M6 Ubuntu users affected by this I'm willing to
rebuild the kernel so they can test.  Just send me the output of 'sudo
dmidecode'
