Hi,
	I just found that I had to update my bootldr (even though
the version I had before seemed to have suspend code in).

According to what I've read, the 2.13.x can hang the ipaq and turn it
into paperweight.  I've installed 2.14.5. After testing it w/ linux,
this one suspends it right. Now I'm in the process of booting plan 9
with this version of the bootldr. 

They have added magic numbers to the kernel (including the entry point
address and file size) and since the arm inflate does not have such
bits in, the loader refuses to load 9bitsy. I'm looking into
/sys/src/boot/arm/il.s and the linux head.s (their il.s) to see if I
can get those magic numbers in.

Once that be done, yet another thing to get pm working is to replace
the stuff in power.c It should work according to the manual, but looks
like it does not according to the sa1110 bug workarounds in the linux
code (just looks like the ram is not kept in good shape in the bitsy
if we just do what the manual says).
