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...
