For STD, it _will_ break. If you don't do a good freeze/unfreeze, the new 
world order would break you. Your new save_state + freeze would have to 
save off enough info for resume(). 

But even then, you could make drivers "compatible" with the new order by 
just using your old "suspend()" as "freeze()".

Sane drivers can do something saner.
