Using 'echo 0 0 0 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk' it suspends and resumes a
lot faster and doesn't pick up any delay. Even after several cycles, the
sum is still below 1 second.

The weird thing is that even now, it still has an offset of 51 seconds
between system and hw clock. So it does not seem to restore from the hw
clock accessible via 'hwclock'... or does it remember the offset during
