I checked out Linux 4.9.16, applied your patch on top, and copied the 
Debian 4.9 Linux kernel configuration, did `make menuconfig`, disabled 
building debugging symbols, and executed `ARCH=i386 make -j40 deb-pkg`.

I installed that package on the Lenovo X60, and the result with tracing 
enabled has improved. The system suspends without a crash. 
Unfortunately, instead of resuming when pressing the power button, it 
starts from scratch. Suspend and resume without tracing enabled works 
though.

I’ll try to collect logs, but I don’t know, if there will be any, if the 
system just resets.

Maybe, this can be reproduced in QEMU?


Kind regards,

Paul
