Since my warning probably scared anyone from actually trying this patch I've 
given it a thorough working over on my own laptop, booting with mem=128M. The 
patch works fine and basically with the patch after resuming from disk I have 
25MB more memory in use with pages prefetched from swap. This makes a 
noticeable difference to me. That's a pretty artificial workload, so if 
someone who actually has lousy wakeup after resume could test the patch it 
would be appreciated.

Cheers,
