With uswsusp (aka swsusp3), you can do all this in userland. Stop
whining, start hacking... Code is at kernel.org/git/.../linux-sw3.

But that was exactly my point: there's no need to hack!

The code is there. It's well tested, fast, stable, and does what users need. It's called suspend2. Why work on yet another implementation instead of just merging that?


Cheers,
Lorenzo
