You're right. I didn't notice it was working because the screen turned
into white and nothing showed up when my laptop resumed from the sleep
state. Turned out that

hw.acpi.reset_video=1 (default)

doesn't work properly on my laptop, and I should have turned it off.
Now my laptop can resume from S3 state without panic or lock-up. And I'm
so glad that I don't have to restart moused after the resume.
By the way, this was when I put my laptop into S3 using acpiconf command,
which is not in our tree; if I set

hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S3

to use lid to put into sleep state, the machine panicked when it tried
to resume. I'll try to track this down when I have time.

I also noticed that, if I boot the machine without AC adapter plugged
in and interrupt dhclient by pressing ctrl-C, it locks up suddenly and
even ctrl-alt-esc doesn't work. It doesn't lock up when AC adapter is
plugged in, so I doubt this is caused by the networking code. This is
not new and I've been seeing this lock up since last year(not sure when
I saw it the first time).

I updated my patch to compile pmtimer in acpi module so that the system
clock is adjusted when it resumed.
