I also have doubts. The message "ACPI Warning (processor_throttling-0843):
Invalid throttling state, reset" I saw in 2.6.30-rc7, found in Google, that
many people have the same. In 2.6.30-rc6 after s2ram I had:

mac...@gumis:~$ cat /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling
state count:             8
active state:            T0
state available: T0 to T7
states:
   *T0:                  100%
    T1:                  88%
    T2:                  75%
    T3:                  63%
    T4:                  50%
    T5:                  38%
    T6:                  25%
    T7:                  13%
state count:             8
active state:            T-1
state available: T0 to T7
states:
    T0:                  100%
    T1:                  88%
    T2:                  75%
    T3:                  63%
    T4:                  50%
    T5:                  38%
    T6:                  25%
    T7:                  13%

Before I haven't any problems, never.

Some interesting things. In 2.6.30-rc7, always, when I try cat
/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling, I see in dmesg:

[ 1467.264416] ACPI Warning (processor_throttling-0843): Invalid throttling
state, reset
[ 1467.264429]  [20090320]
[ 1467.264816] ACPI Warning (processor_throttling-0843): Invalid throttling
state, reset
[ 1467.264827]  [20090320]
[ 1531.644406] ACPI Warning (processor_throttling-0843): Invalid throttling
state, reset
[ 1531.644419]  [20090320]
[ 1531.646978] ACPI Warning (processor_throttling-0843): Invalid throttling
state, reset
[ 1531.646988]  [20090320]

One warning for each processor, and each "cat...". It never happens before.
