With this quirk I got this oops on hibernate (but computer still
working) 

Well, strictly speaking it's a warning, not an oops per se. 

What happens is that the quirk wants to do an "ioremap_nocache()", which 
allocates memory, and that happens very early during initialization when 
interrupts are disabled.

And you're really not supposed to allocate memory, except using 
GFP_ATOMIC. But we've always been lax about that during early boot, so we 
have stuff that does. And resume ends up doing a lot of the same things 
early boot does, and shows issues like this.

So the quirk is probably still a good idea, and the warning message is 
just that - a very scary warning message, but not an indicator that 
anything is seriously screwed up for you.

(It is an indication of a real bug, though, even though it's harmless in 
practice in this case)

Hi, thanks 
Just to write, I test last fedora kernel(2.6.20-1.2981.fc7) which is
based on 2.6.21-rc3-git5, without any problem, less than the scary
warning, talked in this email :)
