I've been on vacation this weekend, so this is a bit late.

Just to clarify, this is with ACPI.

I guess I need to read up on PCI link stuff as I would expect this to be
able to cause the interrupt to fail, but I don't see why they would
cause failure that is delayed by many minutes..up to over an hour after
resume. .

Thanks for looking at this.
