I don't like this patch because the first read might not have the gpu
suspended, and there shouldn't be much overhead in checking twice rather
than once.

What's your rationale here?

To me, the issue is that some platforms suspend in milliseconds while
some take seconds, and that might be indicative a real bug in the driver.
