Regresses badly on resume from in-kernel hibernation. I.e. hangs with some 
red graphics artifacts on the tty. The same artifacts appear for a short 
time with rc6 + some commits as well, but there then X.org is available 
again.

2437fccfbfc83bcb868ccc7fdfe2b5310bf07835 â thats rc6 + some commits â 
works, while exactly rc7 does not.

No bisection tried so far. Maybe tomorrow. It shouldnÂt be that many 
attempts and kernel compiles are fast on the ThinkPad T520 with Intel i5 
Sandybridge + integrated graphics â no NVidia â + Intel SSD 320 where this 
happens. No other machines tested so far.

Kernel configuration available if desired.

Thanks,
