I am guessing the snippets of code your comments refer to.

Which has already been saved through syscore_suspend()....

It has to be updated then.

Yes. Basically you are doing a soft reboot just to return 0.

Updated it please then.

/me confused. Please describe what switching to idmap is meant to
