Hm, that's still way too much. You should have < 100 interrupts on IRQ 17
on *every* boot, anything else isn't satisfactory. I'm working on a patch
that runs before EFI ExitBootServices() but will need a little longer to
find an optimal solution.

Suspend to disk involves two kernels, the boot kernel and the image kernel.
Perhaps these two are not the same on your machine and you've only compiled
the patch into one of them?

Best regards,
