Another nice aspect of using the hibernation code is that the guest kernel has a better understanding of the memory layout and what needs to be saved to disk, instead of dumping everything as a blob. So we can decide for example if we want to save as much as possible and have a faster system on resume, or drop some caches (i.e. clean page cache pages) and reduce some I/O during hibernate/resume.
