Yes ... but it addresses only part of the issue(s). There's some state 
which cannot be saved / restored separately from the core state that's 
dealt with inside swsusp_arch_suspend/resume. This hook couldn't deal with 
that.

Also, if having mach-specific hooks everywhere, wouldn't it be better to 
simply use a platform ops based approach ?
