Thanks Lorenzo!

Here's what I've got.

/*
 * Snapshot kernel memory and reset the system.
 *
 * swsusp_save() is executed in the suspend finisher so that the CPU
 * context pointer and memory are part of the saved image, which is
 * required by the resume kernel image to restart execution from
 * swsusp_arch_suspend().
 *
 * soft_restart is not technically needed, but is used to get success
 * returned from cpu_suspend.
 * 
 * When soft reboot completes, the hibernation snapshot is
 * written out.
 */

Does this look ok?  I'll prepare a v4 patchset.

Thanks!

Sebastian
