We just discussed this in the desktop team meeting. It is a "damned if
you do, damned if you don't" situation, but we decided to drop this
patch for the following reasons:

 * Upstream FDI rules should be quite good nowadays, other distributions aren't 
reportedly much worse wrt. suspend/resume than our's.
 * We have a lot of reports that the patch breaks current hardware (like Dell 
Latitudes)
 * upstream FDIs will get better over time, while the old acpi-support 
behaviour gets more and more obsolete
 * Maintaining the patch (or rather the consequences) is fighting against 
upstream and thus producing pointless maintenance overhead and bugs
 * We can always update FDIs for specific models, even post-release (OTOH we 
cannot revert this patch after Hardy is released, since that will cause 
undefined regressions).
