we did see some visible IO performance improvement now. the main
reason we didn't see that before is because we enable on-demand
cpufreq in default status. while saving and resuming from snapshot,
cpu frequence is switched frequently due to IO sleep and
compression/uncompression CPU consume. then we enable Performance
policy while booting, and move to on-demand after system boot, we did
see a great performance improvement.
for our inand card, the speed to read/uncompress snapshot is improved
from 7.x MB to 11MB.
