That worked out mosty OK (no freeze in quite some hibernation cycles),
but I'm continuing testing it.

On the other hand, I reverted 8fbd962e3, recompiled and replaced the
module, and got the freeze during hibernation.  And that was the bulk of
the changes since 2.6.31...  I'll revert the rest and test again, but
that seems purely cosmetic, so no high hopes.

I'll do so, as soon as I find a way to automatically supply the dm-crypt
passphrase... or even better, learn to hibernate to ramdisk from the
initramfs. :)
