Hi all,

I think I fixed the S3 suspend/resume on AMD which was broken since Stephan did 
the change with cbmem :)

The patch does following:

1) wraps the s3 parts of chipset code/memory init code with if 
CONFIG_HAVE_ACPI_RESUME == 1 getting rid of ugly define in romstage.c

2) the patch implements get_cbmem_toc in chipset specific way if defined.
On Intel targets it should be unchanged. On K8T890 the the cbmem_toc is read 
from NVRAM. Why you ask? Because we cannot do it as on intel, because the 
framebuffer might be there making it hard to look for it in memory (and remember 
we need it so early that everying is uncached)

3) The patch removes hardcoded limits for suspend/resume save area (it was 1MB) 
on intel. Now it computes right numbers itself.

4) it impelements saving the memory during CAR to reserved range in sane way. 
First the sysinfo area (CAR data) is copied, then the rest after car is disabled 
(cached copy is used). I changed bit also the the copy of CAR area is now done 
uncached for target which I feel is more right.

I think I did not change the Intel suspend/resume behaviour but best would be if 
someone can test it. Please note this patch was unfinished on my drive since 
ages and it would be very nice to get it in to prevent bit rotten it again.
Now I feel it is done good way and should not break anything. I did a test with 
abuild and it seems fine.

The Rachmann did suspend/resume support for Asus M2V he will post the patch soon.
