From an ARS Technica story:
Linux 3.15, expected to be released in mid-2014, "will feature a large number of ACPI and power management updates" and allow Linux-based computers to suspend and resume faster, Phoronix reported today.
'Visible to users with the Linux 3.15 kernel should be reduced time for system suspend and resuming, thanks to the enabling of more asynchronous threads,' the article said, pointing to a list of changes posted by Rafael Wysocki, an Intel employee who maintains the Linux kernel's core power management code. Basic support for Nvidia's Maxwell architecture is also in the works for Linux 3.15.

Oddly enough, when rudolph mentioned "warranty-replaced mobo", that brand was the first thing that came to my mind.
I remember a former Dell employee posting at the other site about that company's actions during the days of counterfeit lytics. [googleusercontent.com] (orig) [atariage.com]
He said that when MoBos were returned, they would give those a quick visual inspection and if nothing odd was spotted, they were instructed to ship those out as replacement boards to others who had problems.
