Hi Kame -- Hibernation would need to be handled by the tmem backend (e.g. zcache, Xen tmem). In the case of Xen tmem, both save/restore and live migration are fully supported. I'm not sure if zcache works across hibernation; since all memory is kmalloc'ed, I think it should work fine, but it would be an interesting experiment.
