Hi!
> Use the name_to_dev_t call to parse the device name echo'd to
> to /sys/power/resume. This imitates the method used in hibernate.c
> in software_resume, and allows the resume partition to be specified
> using other equivalent device formats as well. By allowing
> /sys/debug/resume to accept the same syntax as the resume=device
> parameter, we can parse the resume=device in the init script and
> use the resume device directly from the kernel command line.

Is the allocation actually neccessary? At the very least this should
test for NULL...
