Maybe not.

Hibernation is not only for workstations. And I believe it works in Linux to
some extent. You need to discuss this in Linux PM mailing list.

I think nothing. It's better to try to actually fix the non-working scenarios
rather than remove the feature completely.

P.S.
I'm sorry, but why are you so eager to remove something? While in many cases
removal of (potentially dead or unused) code is considered a good thing, it's
not always the case.
