Just want to let you know this kernel works great with Dell D820
Latitude laptop. I have no difficulties with suspend and resume.  Only
problem I still have is that the iwl3945 wireless driver refuses to
join open networks, but it works fine with networks that use WEP.
I've disabled that and the ipw3945 driver from intel works great.
Suspends and resumes without hassle.

Battery life may be improving as a result of the HPET support in the
new kernel.  I also ran powertop and followed its advice, so I can't
be sure where the improvement is.   It appears to me the batteries
last between 10 and 20% longer, depending on whether I compile
anything.
