re, sorry both tglx and I have been traveling, he still is, I'm trying
to play catch-up :-)

Anyway, yeah I'm somewhat surprised the clock is 'running' when the
machine isn't. From what I could gather, this is !x86 hardware, right?

x86 explicitly makes sure our clocks are 'stopped' during suspend, see
commit cd7240c0b900eb6d690ccee088a6c9b46dae815a.

Can you do something similar for ARM? A quick look at
arch/arm/kernel/sched_clock.c shows there's already suspend/resume
hooks, do they do the wrong thing?
