Bug#607364: linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686: High resource consumption for note(net)books

[Saulo Soares de Toledo <saulotoledo@gmail.com>]

Tested. With kernel from experimental (2.6.37-rc5) my netbook gets crazy: hibernate disable my swap at next reboot (then I need use mkswap manually, and then swapon -a) and don't works. And in some reboots fsck needs recover something in my root partition. Anyway, the numbers (activations/second) sounds better in this version.

After upgrade of firmware-linux and linux-base packages (needed by the new kernel), my hibernate option do not worked anymore even at old kernel (2.6.32). Then I back them to testing versions and needed manual intervention to fix the hibernate problem (installing and configuring uswsusp).

Due to the version problems, I got the last stable version (2.6.36.2) and compiled. The numbers with powertop sounds better too (maybe better than 2.6.37 version, but I need test more time). I will test for some hours and put here some more info.

Check if newer linux-2.6 images fix it (you find them in experimental)
2.6.37-rcX
if yes which patch makes the diff and if not tell upstream on bugzilla.kernel.org
