The patch has zero impact on a running system, only suspend/resume
behavior is affected.

Precondition: Suspend computer with keyboard backlight brightness
greater than zero.

Before patch: On resume, the backlight stays off.

After patch: On resume, the backlight is set to the brightness prior to
suspend.

There is one side-effect of the patch: the accelerometer no longer
re-calibrates on resume, but keeps the calibration from before suspend.
I consider this a good change, but it is after all a change.
