Sorry to reply to my own post but I tried another patch and it works much 
better this time: 

- vanilla kernel 2.6.11.6
- 05-radeon patch from 
<http://chefacciamo.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Debian/ACPIpowerOK>
- swsusp2  2.1.8-for-2.6.11

all patches apply ok, the kernel compiles fine and the battery drain is now 
considerably reduced:

after: 45140 mWh
diff: -350 mWh
seconds: 1376 sec
result: -915 mW
Congratulations, your model seems NOT to be affected.

This is more that what I used to get with 2.6.11-rc2 but still acceptable. 
Also, it was a fairly short test (only 22minutes) and the calculation might 
be unreliable.

Does anybody know the difference between the radeon patches?? I could diff 
them but I don't really understand kernel code ...
