I think this looks good.  We should likely be unifying the approach to 
suspend/resume for timers across i386 and amd64 btw.  pmtimer should be 
available for amd64 as well for example.  I'm also not sure if adding a resume 
method for atrtc means that pmtimer needs to change to not frob the RTC in its 
suspend and resume methods now as well.
