suggests that it only corrects a bug in the APM or maybe ACPI S4_bios
support. Under ACPI, you should use swsusp(2) which writes the suspend
image in the swap space and does not rely on the BIOS.

The DSDT errors are mostly harmless (or did you find any critical error
message in dmesg?), and are automatically worked around by the AML
interpreter.

Did anybody update and find any relevant changes not mentioned in
the changelog?
