Sorry, there was an out-by-one error in my bug report.  This revision is
the last good chengset.  It is the following changeset "passthrough: Fix
older kernel assigned device resume failure problem"
(dbb8aafa702b8b4f5568e08641d98471fd04e0f8) where I see the problem.

I'll repost with the description of the problem and a fresh CC list.
