You can pull from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nigelc/tuxonice-head.git#for-rafael if you want. I'll apply your suggestions/comments to the versions there. I'll also checkout what's going on with Martin's machine and hopefully apply whatever fix is needed there too. Will keep you up to date with any changes.
