Well it's not really tux-on-ice's fault, freeze wouldn't work _at all_ via the
ioctl or any other method, we just happened to notice it was broken because
people using tux-on-ice were getting corrupt filesystems after suspend :). Btw,
it may be good to have freezer_sync set to 1 by default, otherwise if an fs
doesnt support freezing it will likely end up corrupted too. Thanks,

Josef
