    By having the copy routine sit elsewhere. You can have the copy routine
    be in a known location of the kernel beeing resumed (that is it uses
    its own copy routine) that is aligned on a page boundary and knows how
    to copy itself. Fairly trivial.

    Why ? You aren't passing any device/driver information from the boot
    kernel and the resumed one... do you ?

    Then you don't wnat to do things properly...
