So, LPM doesn't have anything to do with the problem.  The fact that
this only happens on specific machines is strange.  Maybe the BIOS is
doing something fishy to the controller on disk spindown during
suspend.  Can the BIOS tell that the system is going for suspend by
the time sd suspend is called?  I'll prep another patch which will
make EH skip certain steps and ignore failures during suspend, which
basically mimics what your patch does but in safer way.

Thanks.
