If you want it tested on some more systems, send it to the suspend list (swsusp-devel at lists dot sourceforge dot net). There are a bunch of people there who'd love to give it a go and suspend2 will make any issues show up quickly. (At the moment, it calls drivers_suspend() prior to the power off call to force flushing).
