Hi!

Modify process thawing so that we can thaw kernel space without thawing
userspace, and thaw kernelspace first. This will be useful in later
patches, where I intend to get swsusp thawing kernel threads only before
seeking to free memory.

NAK. "May be useful in future" is not good reason to merge it now. (If
you did not want it merged, just mark it so).

I hope Nigel will keep working at it, since low memory machines like old laptops would benefit from suspend are a reality. It can be kept as a separate patch somewhere, like suspend2, which people can patch in to enhance the example code currently in the kernel.

  Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a
normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected,
and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during
wildcard (glob) expansion.
