Probably, "done" isn't output otherwise.

Ok, I found the code.  Are other pm_test values meaningful, or possibly
harmful?  I think I tried freezer, which resulted in a seemingly perfect
suspend, but the machine didn't try to resume afterwards, but booted
normally instead...

The KMS related STR freeze (evaluating the _PTS method) is still there.
I'm continuing testing s2disk with the platform method under rc7 (with
some instrumentation added).

Btw, s2ram -f works fine otherwise (no KMS), and my machine is not in
the whitelist.  I'm not sure whether the KMS problem disqualifies it
(shall I report it to suspend-devel?), but it can be identified by:
    sys_vendor   = "IBM"
    sys_product  = "1834S5G"
    sys_version  = "ThinkPad R50e"
    bios_version = "1WET90WW (2.10 )"

Thanks,
