I did not read the ACPI spec on this, but we never did that in the in-kernel
suspend, and it seems to have worked fine until now (and actually, Patricks
version seemed to be built upon reading the spec).

With this change, if i read it correctly, we are preparing a suspend (during
resume), without entering it. Then we finish the suspend.
I would not bet that this does not confuse the BIOSes that actually care about
this stuff.

Do you have a machine that behaves differently with this change?

I don't think it will harm anybody, however, if we do not have a case where
we need this, i am a bit hesitant to change any BIOS-touching codepath ;-)
