Suspend/resume/power management has worked fine for a long time, at
least on older kernels, by patching the bootloader in SRAM to work
with Linux. The problem happens when something (anything in the
kernel) goes awry and scribbles on the SRAM.

Likely the suspend/resume problems with HEAD kernels is due to
hamcop_base not being converted to a platform driver yet.
