[Nouveau] VGA resume & thaw (wake up from S3 & S4) broken - kernel(nouveau) exclusively

[Roy Spliet]

Dear Poma,

Don't get anyone wrong, your input is greatly valued. The reason why 
"we" (nouveau developers) generally ask for a git bisection is because 
we don't know or track specific distributions. Although your search has 
narrowed the problem down (thanks for that!), we don't know how big the 
difference is between kernel-3.16.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc21 and 
kernel-3.16.0-0.rc0.git10.1.fc21. Is the difference literally just that 
one patch? Or were there more patches to nouveau or drm that might have 
been the culprit? So far I haven't succeeded in finding the exact 
differences between the two kernels. Git bisect on the upstream kernel 
on the other hand will always point at the precise patch that broke the 
kernel, narrowing down the search space of the bug for developers thus 
reducing the time it takes to fix your issue. Unless developers can 
reproduce your issue, Unfortunately the user is the person who has to do 
the bisecting.
So in short: narrowing down the search space often saves a lot of time 
of the developer, reducing the time it takes to fix your issue!
Thus, if you can find the time to perform a git bisect (with the right 
good/bad markers it really should not take that many kernels to build), 
or if you can validate that the patch you mention *really* is the only 
difference between the two kernels, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Yours,

Roy
