I really tried. The fact is, the RTC chips have at least 114 bytes of NVRAM available in them, and most have more. Sadly, while from a hw standpoint it's non-volatile, the firmware I was testing with cleared it all (including the extended banks etc).

We can certainly make it 'default n', and perhaps hide it behind EXPERIMENTAL (it's not really, but hey..). Not EMBEDDED, though, this is literally meant to help random people who have a dead machine on suspend be able to just turn this on, test suspend, and then when suspend causes a dead machine, just turn off power and reboot immediately again, and it will tell you which device was the last one to go through the resume cycle.
