That'd be a totally brute-force solution.  If the kernel pushed all dirty
pages into swap then there should only be the page tables and other core
stuff needing to go out, sleep, and be read back in before it could start
paging the rest back as needed.  Being a tad more aggressive about
page-cleaning during normal runtime might even help it suspend faster.

I'd thought there was kernel suspend support already, in fact, not just
hardware/firmware versions of it, but lack of a nice laptop and being
the sort of person who crypts my swap partition mean I've never had the
occasion to try it.
