I don't have either.

Anyway I just verified that the current code is broken. I put 2
processes waiting for a suspend evetn by reading the /dev/apm_bios
device and a third process that does the suspend event by doing an
ioctl() on the apm device. The system doesn't suspend (the kernel
dumped a list of the current tasks, instead of printing "Freezing of
tasks failed after..." BTW) and eventually the third process exits
with an incorrect value: -EINTR.

Applying your patch makes the previous test case work.

I also discovered that s2ram doesn't work on my laptop and had to use
standby suspend. I'll try to find out why.
