Great.

Try using the sysctls from the new acpi_video module to turn off the
backlight, perhaps by turning the brightness way down. If it works, put
it in /etc/rc.{suspend,resume}. If this doesn't work, it's probably
something the specific video driver for your system needs to do.

Yep, uhci still doesn't suspend/resume on many platforms. Linux has some
of this problem too.

This will be solved by restoring the BARs. Warner was working on this in
the p4 power tree but it's stalled a little.
