The last 2-4 commits of x86/mm are fresher.
Side note: I do not believe a lot of people actually run linux-next on laptops, so suspend/resume likely doesn't get a lot of testing in next.
I think most people who run linux-next tend to be automation things on farms.
Don't get me wrong - I love linux-next and your tip testing, but I think linux-next is best for finding build errors etc big integration issues, with some very rudimentary actual boot checking.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I _wish_ I am wrong.
But honestly, I see problems on my machines most merge windows. Last release was actually unusually calm, in that I don't think I had to bisect anything at all.
Which really says to me: "very few people actually _run_ those next trees".
