Subject    : 2.6.16-rc[34]: resume-from-RAM unreliable (SATA)

Status     : one of Randy's patches seems to fix it

This is not a regression, libata suspend/resume has always been crappy. 
 It's under active development (by Randy, among others) to fix this.

It might have always been crappy, but it is a regression since
according to the submitter it is working with 2.6.15.

It might have worked under lucky circumstances with an idle disk and a
goat sacrifice, so I agree with Jeff that this is definitely not a
regression. To my knowledge, Mark always used my libata suspend patch on
earlier kernels so it's not even an apples-apples comparison.

So please scratch that entry.
