Much more ACPI suspend work has happened since I asked for laptop testing
(3 days ago).

If any of you tested and feel like re-testing, you will find many
improvements.  Your tests will help us spot the problems which remain.

Lid wakeups now work.  Lid suspend can be controlled via machdep.lidsuspend.
The soft power off button problem has been found and solved.  I think all
wired and wireless network devices now work.

We will continue to have problems with:
 - ATI video.  For now we are re-posting all of them since we do not
   have a reliable way of getting them back.  Many manufacturers build
   broken machines.
 - Nvidia video.  I think we don't stand a chance of ever doing this.
   Don't buy Nvidia.

Intel video is much better.  There are some outstanding issues, but it is
all getting better very quickly.

So if anyone wants to resubmit, please do!

   - To [email protected].  Please do not send me a cc.

   - NOT MIME; use a mailer that sends plain text so that we can grep
     the output for specific problems

   - use a good Subject line describing your machine and what works or
     does not; this also helps us a lot

   - Include any other information you can, such as sensors

   - Please do not include an AML dump; they are simply too big.  If
     anyone needs one they will send you a mail requesting that you
     place the output of 'acpidump -o machinename' into a tar file and
     reply with a URL
