Damnian,
why don't you directly try the revision immediately before newbus
locking (so immediately prior to r196037) and try to verify it still
works.
I'm aware of at least one possible deadlock source but it should not
happen while suspend/resume. However, I'm preparing an errata patch
for newbus locking.
If you verify newbus locking is the real culprit and that my further
patch doesn't fix your problem we can try to hammer it down further.
