Hi Huang,

I was testing these patches and I get following error on my machine.

Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.00 seconds) done.
Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)
PM: Device i8042 failed to freeze: error -22
Restarting tasks ... done.

Any idea why keyboard controller would not freeze?

Thanks
Vivek
