Ok, I have figured out a way to test (on ARM1176, not yet Cortex-A8), by
bringing my kernel up to a recent-enough baseline.
I've found that the cpu_resume_mmu call done at the end of cpu_do_resume
is reliant on having the MMU off at that point.
If it's on (as is the case when coming through the hibernation resume
point) the TTBR table modification in cpu_resume_mmu crashes ... well,
it's a PA after all.
I could make hibernation resume to work through the generic paths if I add
a "fast exit" case:
diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S b/arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S
index 6398ead..d83123a 100644
--- a/arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S
+++ b/arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S

orr r3, r3, r4, lsl #20
and "mov r1,#0" before calling cpu_do_suspend, from swsusp_arch_resume.
It leaves an unsatisfying feeling about this not being "quite right"
though.
I wonder; is there a proper/suggested way to switch MMU off (and not end
in binary nirvana), to have the reentry / reenable work ?
