Well, the problem of GFP_KERNEL vs _resume() is that swsusp calls _resume() 
when normal memory management mechanisms are not fully functional.  
Consequently, if it happens to trigger swapping out, for example, the system 
will probably crash.

However, all of this is done with IRQs enabled, so the irqs_disabled() test is 
insufficient.  GFP_KERNEL in _resume() is unconditionally unsafe, so to speak.
