It's pretty much business as usual. Linus doesn't want another
implementation merged, and he wants the three of us (Pavel, Rafael and
myself) to agree on a way forward. He also believes that we're
approaching things from the wrong direction at the moment. Funnily
enough, this is the one area on which we do all agree.

So, I'm continuing to work on making Suspend2 as good as I possibly can.
I'm not at all imagining any rework. Swsusp or uswsusp can probably be
expected to stay in their current forms too.

Once I get Suspend2 into a state where I feel like there's no more work
to do (which I think is not that far away), I'll turn attention to
trying to morph swsusp into Suspend2, but I wouldn't hold my breath :)
