ACPI Error: [RAMB] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20110112/psargs-359)
ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_FOUND, Could not execute arguments for [RAMW] (Region) (20110112/nsinit-349)

    Scope (_SB)
    {
        Name (RAMB, 0xDF5A1018)
        OperationRegion (\RAMW, SystemMemory, RAMB, 0x00010000)
    }

For above ASL code, we need to save scope node(\_SB) to lookup
the argument node(\_SB.RAMB).

Arne Nordmark reports[2] that this patch, when applied to 3.2.5, fixes
a resume failure.  Thanks!

Would it be safe and useful to backport this fix to stable/longterm
kernels?  If so, which ones?
