fbdev and power management

I'm trying to get the radeon M6 in my new Fujitsu Lifebook to handle
ACPI S3 suspend and resume properly - at the moment, on resume it
fails to do anything. Looking at the driver, the reason is quite
obvious (no .suspend and .resume functions defined), but the driver
file has code to handle these (apparently only for the PowerBooks,
since it's wrapped in a #ifdef CONIG_PMAC_PBOOK). My Lifebook P2120
is a Crusoe 5800 based setup, with a PCI M6, so it's not even being
built, let alone enabled and used. 

As far as I can tell, if I removed the #ifdef CONFIG_PMAC_PBOOK and
split the current radeon_set_suspend up into suspend and resume
functions to fit the current power management stuff, it might have
some chance of working. Can you tell me if this is a reasonable
first step?

Alternatively, if you have patches that I could test, I'd be quite
happy to give them a go - being a guinea pig sounds like fun ;-)
No patches at this time. I need to learn the new power management code. 
Where are the docs for them ?
