Similar comment about fast resume performance: I think we should only do
these when freezing for hibernation. Otherwise browser performance with
cool new stuff like the fast S1x suspend (or whatever it's called again)
will be a horrible experience. Every time you just read for a few
seconds and the system suspend in the background we'll drop all gem bo's
on the floor ...
