Note that "resume from disk" does _not_ have to necessarily resume kernel data structures. It is enough if it just resumes the caches etc.
For speeding up a boot process, sure... but for suspend/resume on a laptop --- why would you bother?
Don't get _too_ hung up about the power-management kind of "invisible suspend/resume" sequence where you resume the whole kernel state.
I'm confused. I've always wondered that before you suspend the state of a machine to disk, why we just don't throw away unnecessary data like anything not actively referenced.
