Problem is that these 76s are burned every time, whether you just use
500MB or the full 12TB of the machine.

Next problem is that the bitmaps are allocated (and need to be freed)
without even being sure that a resume will happen.

So when you boot the kernel with 'resume=/dev/something' on the cmdline
it will always take these 76s just for allocating and freeing the
bitmaps for nothing on such a machine.

And Linux is only made for sane people? Thats pretty new to me ;-)

Only patch 6 would wrap the problem with the soft lockups, but the other
patches actually improve the resume and boot situation on those
machines.
