You've gone barking up the wrong tree here, this is only supposed to be
the signature of the block device *itself* returned from the udevdb.

When resume_offset is set, a further probe would be warranted.  There's
no reason to modify any of the blkid stack.

This doesn't work for people who have swap on a different device that we
have to wait for.  That's a great big false negative.

No.

We don't add features in SRU.  If this worked for you in the past, it
wasn't by intent, it was by luck.
