i like this because it creates synergy between the sw-suspend code and
kprobes. Shared infrastructure is always good. What type of disagreement
was there, was it on lkml?

i dont like the performance aspect of it though: we'd need to schedule
nr_tasks times to insert probes into the kernel. So i'd consider this an
easy "plan B" approach, to be used if "plan A" fails :-)
