[PATCH] Make pmdisk suspend more reliable

Hi Patrick & all,

Here's a little patch to make pmdisk suspend to disk work on my old
laptop. Basically at least the PMDISK_SIG never got to the disk, and
finding the suspend image would fail without this patch. The patch is
against linux-2.6.0-test7.

Pls cc me on any replies, I'm not on the list right now.

Regards,

Tony
