suspend to ram works on Blackfin systems w/out a problem, and i cant
think of a reason off the top of my head as to why saving/restoring
the image to disk couldnt work w/out a mmu ...

last time we looked, we found it too coupled to mmu code and we didnt
have a lot of pressure to get it done, so we moved on to other things.
