The kernel always complains about failing when trying to resume from disk. Also, after suspending to disk, the swap partition is completely valid, and I don't need to "mkswap" it. On previous releases of the kernel, when STD worked, trying to skip resume from disk left the swap partition unusable (as expected after dumping memory to the swap file).
