There is a new patch available that resolves the software suspend issue 
introduced with the earlier patch.  Please see 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10410.

I agree that it would be great to get this patch into Hardy as soon as 
possible since the TSC clocksource bug can result in hangs and 
timekeeping/timers not working properly.
