Thanks for testing that. It turns out that updating my x-loader (it was
pretty ancient) fixed the boot hang, though I'm not sure I want to know why!

Right. Can you confirm whether the PMU/CTI interrupts fire for you please?
Just run perf top and look at /proc/interrupts while it's running. You
should see a couple of arm-pmu entries in there and hopefully numbers > 0.

For me, my earlier mis-diagnosis has turned out to be true and I can only
see PMU interrupts if I apply the SWSUSP patch, which Santosh says will
break pm.

Cheers,

Will
