    I needed to do highmem anyway (for SUSE kernel)... SMP... I'm not 100%
    convinced that SMP support in suspend2 is correct. (Notice: swsusp/SMP
    support in current mainline is *not* correct, either). In particular,
    if you sleep the CPU, it needs to loop somewhere, right? Can you quote
    the piece of code where sleeping CPUs are spinning? ...that one needs
    to be in assembly :-(.

    Anyway, I believe that refrigerator merge can be done in paralel with
    device tree changes, as it will be always very clear what is broken.
