    Actually, distros started to do swsusp-resume-from-initrd long before
    uswsusp -- because of scsi modules. So that complexity exists
    already...

    Anyway somehow simplifying/kernelizing initrd would be nice. Right now
    I'm using read-only ext2 as poor-mans initrd (because it is easier to
    set up that way).
