LMDE x64, latest Liquorix Kernel & Suspend/Hibernate

I use LMDE 64 bits on a Dell Precision M6500 Laptop with the following specs:

i7-820QM w/USB 3.0, 8.0GB DDR3-1333, Intel x-25M 160 G2 + 500GB 7200.3, nVidia Quadro FX 3800M 1.0GB DDR3, RGBLED, Intel 6300

The Liquorix Kernel fixed my internal microphone and suspend/hibernate problems.  The following grub boot option also enables suspend/hibernate with my laptop:

 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="intel_iommu=on"

This is an experimental linux kernel option that enables dma remapping per the developer of the Liquorix Kernel.  It goes under the other grub boot cmds in /etc/default/grub.  If you are having problems with suspend/hibernate and have a similar laptop, give it a try!
