How does this help us above and beyond the counts we already have?  In
karmic and lucid we already get these:

[55841.240147] PM: suspend devices took 1.500 seconds
[55845.696481] PM: resume devices took 3.850 seconds

It looks to my eye all I am getting from this patch is the late suspend
and early resume numbers?  Are these useful enough to warrent patching?
What do they represent?

Convince me :)
