[TuxOnIce-users] 'unable to free enough memory' has rather nasty consequences here

Even with no_pageset2 turned on, suspension only *sometimes* works in
2.6.34rcX. About half the time it does an atomic copy/restore, decides
to free more memory, does *another* atomic copy/restore, then, well, I
don't just get a freeze anymore. The screen ends up shifted violently to
one side and down, stippled with garbage, and flashing on and off every
couple of seconds. Upon restart I find my BIOS settings are corrupted
and my md array is resyncing. This is not a clean shutdown by any
definition.

I don't think doing more than one atomic copy/restore is working well
with Radeon KMS. (In fact it never has, but it's started failing *badly*
now.)
