With the current series we have in the Chrome OS tree, the WIP power
domain patches are a requirement, which makes testing very hard.  I've
suggested that Chris try going back to leaving the GPU on his patches.
It's possible you could get basic suspend/resume without power domain
patches in that case.  Once power domain stuff is in good shape then
we can turn off the GPU, I think.

...all of those things are needed to actually get the system into the
lowest power state, but starting simple makes a lot of sense.
