Well probably it couldn't get more stable than that, but it was able to 
get more unstable:

This morning I got a unable to handle paging request after switching on my 
kernel suspended ThinkPad T42. With exactly that kernel with all of 
Nigel's patches except for the readahead one.

http://martin-steigerwald.de/tmp/suspend-patches/unable-to-handle-paging-
request-at-resume/

IMG_3897.JPG  is what I saw first. IMG_3900.JPG came after I pressed the 
power button to swich off the machine in order to cold reboot it. As I left 
the machine unattended during resume, I did not see what happened before 
this.

On the next attempt the laptop just rebootet instead of trying to resume 
from the saved image again.

I grepped stuff in syslog and found that it seemed to have been able to 
write some stuff into syslog prior to the trace:

Maybe this is a 2.6.36-rc5 bug instead of a bug in your patches, I can't 
tell.

Hope this helps. Topmost priority has finally finishing my tax returns for 
now, so I don't like to invest much time into it in the next two days.

After that I might try a new kernel, so if you have any suggestions on 
what to try, feel free to share them with me.

Please tell me when you like to have this reported into 
bugzilla.kernel.org! I'd prefer to report stuff there, instead of storing 
attachment on a temporary location onto my server.

Thanks,
