Hi!
I didn't read your whole post, it's way too long, but I would like to see
your patch in mainline as an option to swsusp. What would make this
infeasible?
For one thing, Linus said not but yesterday that he doesn't want multiple
competing suspend algorithms like this in the kernel at once. (If I parsed
his message correctly, he doesn't want any in the kernel, but he's putting
up with it because it seems somewhat needed.)
Would it be a feasible solution to have a very minimal and generic software
suspend in the kernel, and then various userspace implementations could
take care of this?
Yes please. If you want suspend-over-nfs or whatever, just add it to
the userspace; we have enough support in kernel now.

That seems like a rather asinine idea to implement. I think you misread my
question - there are some things that have to be done at the kernel level, such
as when the entire memory has to be written, but are there portions of the
existing code, or portions of Suspend2, that could be done in userspace?
If so, you could have a generic suspend mechanism in the kernel, and then
various other things done in userspace.
