[ltp] APMD and Standby on the TP-T21

[D. Sen]

Well,

I tried to replicate all your settings except for the "CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y"
in the kernel and the fact that I am running version 2.4.2 version of the
kernel. I dont know which version of the bios you are using. I am using
1.03      ( KZET22WW).

These are the problems I get with apmd:

Standby (via Fn+F3 or apm -S):
    Causes "hda: lost interrupt" message in the syslog. (I disable pcmcia
services from the apmd_proxy script then this problem doesnt show. However,
this is not an option using Fn+F3 because the apmd_proxy script isnt called
then.)

Suspend (via Fn+F4 or apm -s):
    Causes various hda error messages in the syslog, unless I use hdparm to
turn dma off and on before and after the suspend/resume cycles (from the
apmd_proxy script).
