I'm getting there...  perhaps tomorrow :-))

This isn't me talking, but I think you know the objection from
hardcore Linux folk is essentially that Linux is the only platform for
which platform-specific stuff should go into the Linux kernel.  I
don't really mind so long as suspend-to-disk and resume work... ;-)

I was wondering whether the swsusp work might form a useful basis for 
the eventual ACPI implementation of the to-disk hibernation stuff:

Am hoping this will resolve my immediate problem with the Vaio :-)

Cheers,

Martin
