To summarize, these are (Did I miss any?): Notify listener of suspend before notifying driver (Russell King) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100819765228734&w=2 Fix idle handling (Andreas Steinmetz) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100754277600661&w=2 Control apm idle calling by runtime parameter (Andrej Borsenkow) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100852862320955&w=2 Each of these changes is required, IMHO. However, the Russell King patch probably won't apply without modifications. Also, it needs to be modified so that it will send a resume event to listeners in case a driver rejects a suspend event that listeners have already processed. I think that this change should wait for 2.5, improvement though it be, because it changes the behavior of the apm driver in a significant way. The other patches ought to apply cleanly to 2.4.17 and are independent of Russell's changes, so ought to go into 2.4.18-pre, I think. Can you get them ready for Marcelo?
