For the record, Rafael, Alexey and I discusseed this a bit further...

We reasoned that this failure is impossible during the Suspend-to-RAM 
path, and the failure is specific to the hibernate reboot kernel handoff
to the resume image.

On a related note, we had trouble justifying the existence
of the current EC .suspend and .resume routines.
