Hijacking this bug as I get the same messages, just after resume.

ThinkPad W520 4276CTO NVC0 (2000M)
openSUSE 12.2 + nouveau 20120813 872dcac

* proposed nouveau.noaccel=1 crashes kernel
(nouveau_abi16_ioctl_channel_alloc>nouveau_channel_new)

* Booting works (nox2apic, W520 ACPI table issue)
* gdm has graphics distortions though (see early dmesg excerpt)
* double ctrl+alt+backspace "fixes" this and gdm looks good
* suspend from gnome-shell 3.4.2 works
* resume shows gdm-password prompt and usually a white-noise background
** the gnome-shellish top-panel looks intact, though
** mouse cursor not movable, cpu load
** looks like "something" tries to restart gdm/X over and over again
* switching to vt possible with some insisting
* restarting gdm does lock up the system
* the "channel x kick timeout" seems new since some commits IIRC

repeatedly in dmesg:

I tried a fc17 install and the original kernel (3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64) worked.
Suspend/resume fine at least when not in docking station. After updating that
test install to 3.5.1-1.fc17.x86_64 the same issues cropped up I see in
openSUSE 12.2. So this looks distribution agnostic.

Any pointers on what to try to help diagnose this issue are welcome.
