Actually, you don't need the patch above, just do
"echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk" before the hibernation (or use
"shutdown method = shutdown" configuration option if you use s2disk).

BTW, can you please try this patch before you do that:
http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/hibernation_and_suspend/2.6.23-rc2/patches/19-ACPI-Enable-GPEs-before-_WAK-is-called.patch

Not really ...

So place "echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk" before that into your script.
