I can confirm that it is not working either in fc7 (in my laptop). The
suspend process hangs in "Stopping tasks..." and the computer has to be
turned off to leave that state. 

I have never worked with suspend so I don't know where to start to debug
this. It must be an interaction with the realtime kernel patch.

I'm building new versions of the fc6/7 kernels that have as many patches
from the stock Fedora kernel applied as possible. From a preliminary
test it does not seem to make any difference with regards to suspend
behavior.
