mmap already has a lot of flags. Adding another flag value should be an
easy task - assuming that one wants to use another bit

It would definitely be helpful because it makes a safe installation much
easier. It will be used automagically and thus one does not need to
fiddle with suspend scripts. All the password managers would benefit

I could write a very simple driver which provides a mmap()able memory
area which the application can use, protected by the kernel, and which
will be automatically cleared upon suspend.
Would that solve the problem?
Yes.

Sure, there are a lot of ways to hook into the suspend process. I was
talking about a standard signal (SIGABOUTTOSUSPEND) so that gpg-agent
could install

So, what do you think, would it be worth the effort?
If it would help GnuPG and if you would like to use it I would offer to
implement it and try to push it upstream.

So GnuPG can't do this alone, but there are ways to configure GnuPG alongside
other packages and/or the OS to be safe(r) here. For example, if you can
arrange to run some commands as you are hibernating, you could get gpg-agent
