Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] PM / Hibernate: add section for resume options

Expand the existing documentation to explicitly list the options for
resuming a hibernation image, including the manual resume option which
can be used from the initrd or initramfs and the kernel init resume.

+. The resume process checks for the presence of the resume device,

+If both are found, it resumes the hibernation image.

+. The resume process may be triggered in two ways:
+  1) During lateinit:  If resume=/dev/your_swap_partition is specified on
+     the kernel command line, lateinit runs the resume process.  If the
+     resume device has not been probed yet, the resume process fails and
+     bootup continues.
+  2) Manually from an initrd or initramfs:  May be run from
+     the init script by using the /sys/power/resume file.  It is vital
+     that this be done prior to remounting any filesystems (even as
+     read-only) otherwise data may be corrupted.

 A: Well, it can be done, load the drivers, then do echo into
