Hm, it seems like it should still work, we definitely didn't *intend* to break 
it with 2.5.0. :)

Does it still work from the console (i.e. echo mem > /sys/power/state when 
booted to text mode)?  If so, then it's likely to be a regression we 
introduced in 2.5.0, otherwise it's probably a kernel bug.
