There are two choices. We can either set the rfkill to the hardware 
state, or we can set the hardware state to the rfkill state. I think 
both are valid choices and I'm happy to implement either of them in the 
resume path. However, as you point out, right now it's possible for the 
user to change the hardware state in the BIOS and cause the two to get 
out of sync. That's certainly not ideal.
