It turned out to be non-trivial.  At the commit d1ee4335
  [x86, trampoline: Use the unified trampoline setup for ACPI wakeup],
I can build by cherry-picking the binutils fix commit 2ae9d293
  [x86: Fix binutils-2.21 symbol related build failures],
then merge Yinghai's patch series, the commit d2137d5af.
The test failed, as expected; S4 resume reboots.

Then going back to the commit 4822b7fc
  [x86, trampoline: Common infrastructure for low memory trampolines]
it's no longer buildable.  This commit alone breaks too many things
and requires the stuff in the commit above d1ee4335.

Backing off one would go to 2.6.38-rc5.  Hmm.

Anyway I try to check whether 2.6.38-rc5 + merge d2137d5af would cause
any issue.


thanks,
