This is tricky... APM will eventually try to use some devices after we do our suspend pass, for example, it will try to suspend the video chip into "APM" mode (which in most case for ATIs is D2 state). The problem is that if the device is already suspended, the BIOS may well crash trying to tap it's registers... I'm not sure what is the proper policy with APM, but then, I have the APM maintainer not far from my desk so ... :) Ben.
