swsusp and uswsusp? Isn't that TWO broken in-kernel solutions?

I don't care that swsusp and suspend2 SHOULD fail on the same machines: they don't. Suspend2 is successful where swsusp is NOT. Example: my wife's laptop. And that's pure FACT, no opinion.

And I also don't care that uswsusp COULD do the same as Suspend2, because for now it does not. Suspend2 is FASTER then Windows and just as good.

As a last note, I remark than Andrew Morton himself does not like the idea of user-land suspend. So what are they waiting for? A few changes to the patches? Let them come along, and let's have Suspend2 in the kernel. QUICK! We're six YEARS late!
