Hi,

I'm sorry having to report that I'm only able to suspend once with Linux
3.5-rc5; any subsequent attempts fail. This is a regression from 3.4
where suspend/resume worked flawlessly and arbitrarily often on my
machine.

Bisection show that the problem was introduced in commit c420b2dc8dc:

| drm/nouveau/fifo: turn all fifo modules into engine modules
|
| Been tested on each major revision that's relevant here, but I'm sure there
| are still bugs waiting to be ironed out.
|
| This is a *very* invasive change.
|
| There's a couple of pieces left that I don't like much (eg. other engines
| using fifo_priv for the channel count), but that's an artefact of there
| being a master channel list still. This is changing, slowly.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,
