I have more issues with this release:

Setting
SLEEP_MODULE has no effect, it always uses kernel.
I tried to set it to auto or explicitely to uswsusp to no avail.
Unfortunately the new logic is a bit hard to decipher, so I haven't
found out yet where the problem is.
Part of the code is now in pm-functions, part of it in the modules;
there is a function check_suspend() which is never called, etc. The
old code was clearer in that regard.

Cheers,
Michael
