I don't really think so, but well ...

That's why I asked Mattia to test the hibernation/suspend patches without
the rest of -mm.

The usb-storage thread is supposed to be unfreezable.  Recent changes 
may have messed up the code that checks for which threads need to be 
frozen and which don't.

 Hello,
 on this vaio sz72b I can't suspend if usb-storage is loaded. Bisecting
 is becoming troublesome as different sets have slightly different
 problems.
 At one point (with the GREGKH usb stuff built) I had the kernel
 reporting it cannot stop the usb-storage thread so I guess that
 something later in the series made things worse (freezable workqueues?).
 
 Clues?

The usb-storage thread is supposed to be unfreezable.  Recent changes 
may have messed up the code that checks for which threads need to be 
frozen and which don't.
