Not really, as I still can't reliable reproduce the issue.  Since I'm
running with suspend loglevel = 8, it's happened only twice (in a row),
with seemingly exact same console output.  Some earlier freezes also
happened in dpm_suspend_start, at least.  However, I can certainly add
e100 to SUSPEND_MODULES under /etc/pm/config.d, and continue running
with that.  Or I can try stress-testing the module, but not sure, how.
Interestingly, git log v2.6.31.. -- e100.c is tiny, but 8fbd962e affects
the suspend/resume routines through e100_up.  This could explain the
timing-sensitive nature of the issue.  I took the liberty to change the
Cc list, maybe linux-netdev can lend us a hand.
