Hi.

I just upgraded my laptop (Dell Latitude C610 A16 BIOS) to CURRENT and
most things work dandy.  However, I'm having trouble getting power
management to work.  Suspending the laptop is abig deal for me, so I'd
like to get a decent workaround or fix and I'm happy to help.

Here are the details.

With ACPI enabled, sleeping to S1 leaves the LCD on and fan running,
sleeping to S3 suspends the way apm did under 4.9, but immediately after
suspend is complete (screen goes out, fan stops) the keyboard LEDs flash
and the system reboots from power off.  Not so good.

I can't turn ACPI off, because I panic (page fault in supervisor mode)
on boot up.  It looks like pcib is expecting acpi to be there, though it
isn't.  Apm worked fine under 4.9, so I think if I could get ACPI out of
the way, I could use apm again and be happy.

I've tried many combinations of partially disabling ACPI and kernels
with and without SMP and apic.

This is really easy to reproduce with GENERIC, and I'm happy to
experiment and pass on debugging results if someone's interested in the
data.  Let me know what you need.

I'd love to get this working, so I can play with -CURRENT more.
