I've had your swsusp hang, panic, go into a half-suspended state where I have
to hold the power button ten seconds to actually power it off and reboot, and
fail in a few other ways. What I've never actually had your code do is
successfully suspend something I could resume from.

90% of the time, patrick's code does that for me. Yours has yet to do so even
once for me.

I suppose I could give it another shot, though...
