Could you clarify, please? I hope I'm getting the wrong end of the stick
- it sounds to me like you and Pavel are saying that this patch breaks
suspending to ram (and hibernating?) but you want to push it anyway
because you haven't been able to produce an instance, don't think
suspending or hibernating matter and couldn't fix fuse anyway?
