If done in reasonably-sized chunks, it would be very welcome. Of course, having maintained pmdisk in kernel is *way* better than having umaintained pmdisk in kernel. So feel free to add yourself an entry in MAINTAINERS file... Alternatively if you bring pmdisk up-to-date (and maintain it), I might as well kill swsusp. But I like the name (SWap SUSPend) slightly better than pmdisk... :-). Pavel -- 934a471f20d6580d5aad759bf0d97ddc
