State of resume for AHCI?

Hi Jeff,
I'm trying to get a Thinkpad X60 working properly. My biggest remaining
problem is the failure of AHCI to resume properly after suspend-to-ram.
I know the problem is known about and there are patches floating about
to address it, but I don't really understand the larger picture. There
were some discussions about it a couple of months ago, but I haven't
seen anything much since.
Is there a git tree which should work properly on this hardware, or a
current patch to do it? Does somebody need to bring the existing patch
up to date? Does fixing this require more infrastructure changes which
are still brewing?
I'm running 2.6.17-rc2-mm1 (soon mm2). I've tried porting Hannes
Reinecke's patch to this tree, but there have been some code changes
which cause significant conflicts, and I don't really know enough about
the driver/hardware to be confident in my changes. That said, I have
got something compiling, but it crashes somewhere in the kobject stuff
when it encounters the first port with no drive on it; this looks like a
more general scsi/libata bug; I'll track it down if its interesting.
Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you could give me some hints about how to
get a fix with some current kernel.
Thanks,
J
