I am confused. If I apply your patch, I get a failure to resume (precise
symptoms below) on both boards I've tried it on. Applying this obviously
broken patch 'fixes' it:

if (!acpi_wakeup_address)
return 1;
init_low_mapping(swapper_pg_dir, USER_PTRS_PER_PGD);
+ memset((void *)acpi_wakeup_address, 0, 0x3000);
memcpy((void *) acpi_wakeup_address, &wakeup_start, &wakeup_end
- &wakeup_start);
acpi_copy_wakeup_routine(acpi_wakeup_address);
If I reserve the whole three pages I scribble on in the above patch (and
which we used to scribble on), by calling alloc_bootmem_low(3*PAGE_SIZE)
in acpi_reserve_bootmem(), then the failure to resume returns. I _need_
to scribble on whatever's after us :)
Failure mode is as follows:
Upon resume, _all_ processes with a userspace VM will oops on being
rescheduled. In every case, %eip is zero and %esp is the very top of the
8KiB area allocated for the task structure and stack. For example:
portmap left refrigerator
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000000
printing eip:
