It should be noted what broke was the non-portable constructs in the generic suspend code. In particular using __pa() outside of architecture code is not allowed. Using virt_to_phys() on addresses not part of the kernel's linear mapping is not generically supported. text/data are not required to be part of the kernel's linear mapping. This patchset now causes all code using these non-portable constructs to fail on x86_64. Which I think is a good thing so we can more easily spot these kinds of problems. Patches 15 and 16 appear to make the swpsuspend code rely on portable constructs. I will let Vivek reply to the amount of testing he has done in this area.
