This was done but with S4Bios in mind, not with S4 via swsusp, and is
actually a (bad) hack, since that can not handle all cases.
A better way is done under 2.5.

Actually, there are many others troubles with
'echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep' and swsusp (fe, the devices are powered
down twice, via ACPI _and_ swsusp), which is bad.  Better is
to use the swsusp own way to suspend, not via 'echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep'
which is IMO broken.

Under 2.5, the situation is different.
