OK, I posted up a new patch series.  Hopefully this looks good to you.
 I did a suspend/resume stress test last night on our chromeos-3.8
branch and things worked well.

Somehow this morning ToT linux (same revision) was working much better
on exynos5250-snow.  I was able to boot reliably and even
suspend/resume reliably.  I think there may be a few niggling issues
that we'll have to track down before too long, though...
