You might see, that all your drivers within and out of the kernel have been broken. Not to make any noise then, seems to me not a good idea. Also, on LKML was some stuff, that there is a general problem initializing PCI devices multiple times and eventually have problems on shutdown/suspend then. But to late for the recent -rc. So, as it stands, given that we are not that backward compatible as have been previously anymore, to know that this change to 2.6.24 did anything usefull, what I doubt, would be not bad to have in details.
