Hmmm, either I'm becoming crazy, or I just halfway figured out something
crazy...

First I should mention that this system is using an nfsroot (mounted using nfs
over tcp, and I'm using a small initramfs with klibc-utils based scripts to
mount that at boot time). Today I realized that after changing something
apparently unrelated (I disabled ethernet flow control because it took a few
seconds to renegotiate the link after a resume, resulting in a few nfs server
not responding still trying messages) I was not able to reproduce the issue
anymore...

I know this sounds really weird but the current state of testing on my side is:

* Now with ethernet flow control disabled on my eth0, which avoids any
renegotiation delay after the resume, I can not reproduce the issue anymore
even if the button module stays loaded.

* On the other hand, if disconnect the ethernet link while the machine is
suspended, get the machine to resume, and wait 10 seconds before reconnecting
the link (thus causing a few nfs server not responding messages in the mean
time), then the machine suspends again some time after I reconnect the ethernet
link (it can take a while, up to 30 seconds or so). This is reproduceable 100%
of the time if the button module is loaded. Unloading the button module still
works around that issue as explained in the initial report.

I'm not sure what to make of that. Probably the bug involves some interaction
with userspace, possibly with acpid ???

Just for kicks I tried the above ethernet-cable-disconnection trick on a
different machine which also uses nfsroot, and that machine did not hit the
unexpected-suspend issue. So, it does look like there is a machine specific
element to this, as well.

Sorry if this sounds incredibly confused. I just tried this again and I still
can't believe it myself...
