I took a quick look, decided it was enough to warrant compiling 2.6.1-rc1, but 
couldn't get it to suspend by itself. (I'm still using the /etc/apm/
{suspend,resume}.d scripts.)

Seems to me that the problems I'm seeing don't necessarily require the 
"restore keyboard state" functionality; rather, I just need the kernel to 
stop bothering the keyboard controller as it is going into suspend mode. The 
author of the -rc1 changes seems to have solved a different problem, but the 
power management framework integration should be helpful for this problem as 
well.
