Ah, OK.  What kind of other problem?  In addition to the raminit reset,
I've seen resume fail by an SMM hang and in other ways.

I've seen S3 resume problems occur on X200 units with CPUID 10676
(microcode revision 0x6, stepping M0).  I've also seen reports of
problems on X200 units with CPUID 1067A (microcode revision 0xA,
stepping R0, the latest available stepping/microcode).

I have a T400 with CPUID 1067A (again, latest available microcode) that
fails to resume, but I've also seen a report of a T400 on which S3
resume works.

On all tested systems, the northbridge stepping is B3, the only
available stepping for this northbridge.

The logs in my previous message are from a couple of X200 units with
10676 and a T400 with 1067A.
