Comment:

 Chris, can you confirm whether Ohm is setting the proper "wake-on"
 parameters on eth0 and msh0 when it suspends?

 When suspending for lid-close, it should "wake-on: d" (disabled, i.e. wake
 on nothing).
 When suspending automatically, it should "wake-on: uma" (unicast,
 multicast that we care about, and arps that we care about).

 This should fix up a bunch of Presence bugs that occur in the "presence"
 of suspend.  Ethtool sources can tell you how to set these driver
 settings.

 Currently, in joyride-2263, I have auto-suspend on, and it's suspending
 regularly, but the network drivers are set to "Wake-on: u".

 There's a separate issue, which is that the latest Marvell firmware should
 support wake-on-arp,
 but the driver doesn't report that it supports wake-on-arp ("a").  See
 #3732.  In the absence of wake-on-arp, we should STILL fix wake-on-
 multicast (and ideally code it so it'll automatically turn on wake-on-arp
 once the driver supports it).
