Wow! I no longer see the USB failure messages after a suspend. But the
USB does not seem to be alive any more. More seriously, my Ethernet is
dead after resume. I just get device timeouts on fxp0 after resume.

The recent update to the PCI code has changed LOTS of things, but it's
clear that things are not really working, yet. Nate posted a very
interesting message to acpi@ this morning that touched on many
suspend/resume issues, so there is work being done and there is
definitely hope.
