I don't really understand. The above implies that to trigger this bug,
one needs to physically remove the card during a resume operation. ie:
a human-vs-computer race. Sounds unlikely?
So... exactly what steps does the user need to take to trigger this
bug?

afacit that code's been there since March 2009. I'd have thought that
someone would have noticed "kernel hangs on resume" before now.
Do you think the patch should be backported into 2.6.32.x and eariler?
