I'm referring to the fix written by Kamal and described in comment 12.

Matthew Garrett's fix is probably the best way forward as it works on any machine. Kamal has also built a test kernel with this generic fix, as described in comment 17. Matthew's patch will probably be included in kernel 2.6.35 - we will have to wait and see if it is backported to any earlier kernels. If you are unable to use Kamal's test kernel, just boot with the acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable parameter which has also been added to kernel 2.6.32.13 thanks to a mainline kernel commit from Zhang Rui.

Any thanks should go to Kamal, Matthew, Zhang and to Greg Kroah-Hartman (Greg is from Novell's SUSE team and lead the review process for the patches proposed for the stable kernel branch). I haven't done anything except a little research.
