Sorry, I have missed something in Bart's patch, Can apply it now, so
please ignore the above complaint.

but unfortunately, Bart's patch also not fix the problem of STD, I have
reported my test result in another E-mail thread: "[Bug #13663] suspend
to ram regression (IDE related)", so, please ignore this thread, thanks!
