good - it's now upstream and should show up in 2.6.27-rc4 as well.

i've had trouble no end with getting even kernel messages out to the
serial console during critical phases of suspend/resume. (especially in
combination with earlyprintk=ttyS0 - not surprisingly)

Especially during resume the UART is initialized back to something
really slow - 300 bauds or 9600 bauds. (depends on the chipset i guess)
So even though it works, it will only worked reliably when i
standardized all my baud settings to that very low setting.
