See patch from June 13th posted to the hibernate thread.  This allows
the finisher function to return, though it should only return if it is
certain that the system will not enter suspend.

Is this true of the current exynos4 code?  It seems that the current
code will panic() if the WFI is executed as a NOP.

You could ensure that L2 is ready to be re-enabled before calling
cpu_resume.  As the C bit in the control register will be cleared,
L2 should not be used at that point, until after the MMU is re-
initialized.
