Whoop!

You might note that you no longer need to abort the suspend if your
radeon module is still in use. At least it worked for me with it still
in use... and it never was not in use. 

I made the new modifications to do specifically this... X never releases its
handle on the DRM.  The "old" way (which does have some other applications)
could break severely if it released the DRM whilst for instance a Qt app was
running.  So, in short, with the new patch you can just suspend/resume at
your heart's content, even while a 3D app or somesuch is running.

One other strange thing... after a swsusp everything comes back except
Xv does look like it works. It just gives a blank window for anything
that uses Xv. :( This was the case with the driReInit version as
well. Or the stock X modules/libs. 

Durn.  I haven't even started looking at this.  So after a resume, there's
no way of getting Xv going again short of restarting X?

Happy to provide more info... 

Thanks very much for testing!
