I'm not entirely clear on this. Surely all that's needed for LVM and
encryption support is for that to be set up in userspace and then allow
userspace to trigger a second attempt at resume? I have a hacky patch
for swsusp that allows that (at the moment it just adds a "resume"
method to /sys/power/state), which gives you the functionality without
the module pain.
