This is one of the biggest issues with kexec based hibernation. For the
typical notebook user, it is totally unacceptable to reserve 16 megabytes of
memory just to be able to suspend to disk. And given the fact that current
distribution kernels are quite modular and require early module loading, even
more memory might be needed.
IMHO, a plan how to fix this must exist or the concept of kexec based
hibernation is a waste of time.
