We are using shrink_all_memory now. We just try to be intelligent about
how much memory gets freed. Most of the time, very little needs to be
released in order to suspend, and you get a more responsive system than
if you free all and sundry and then have to swap it back in post-resume.
If the use really wants to emulate swsusp and free everything they can,
they can just set the imagesize limit to 1MB. (It's a soft limit).

Fixed. Thanks.

Not very often. Removed. I can re-add when necessary.
