I've worked all days with your patched 2.6.12-rc2 using sleep/wakeups 
without any problems (in both X and console sessions, with usb devices 
plugged in).
concerning the power savings, I've done some rough statistics, and it 
seems that I consume 60-100 mA less (compared to a debianized 2.6.8.1 
kernel ) when working with battery. I haven't yet checked the influence 
on the total autonomy (~5h with 2.6.8 and low lcd brightness).

I hope that it will help, and thanks again for your great job.
