Why are PM callbacks any more suitable than the freezer? The most
natural implementation would be for the callback routine to set a flag;
at various strategic points the kthread would check the flag and if it
was set, call a routine that sits around and waits for the suspend to
be over. How does that differ from using the freezer, apart from being
more cumbersome and involving more code?

Also, you never replied to my question about suspend vs. hibernation.
