Long term they are definitely needed, if only for the case where a drive
password has been set in BIOS. Otherwise when you resume, you won't be
able to talk to your disk. Additionally the preferences (such drive
acoustic settings) aren't reprogrammed, but that is of lesser importance.
On laptops, the ACPI tables sometimes also hold special vendor-specific
taskfiles to work around device-specific or drive-firmware-specific
problems.
Agreed, 100%.
So why aren't they in yet? ;)
