1) yes you need parser

1a) Yes, you need CONFIG_PM_DEBUG; but that's better than forcing 200
lines of pure debugging code onto everyone

2)  You can do that. Just check and parse dmesg from userland after
each resume.

If dmesg provides too little/too much information, improve loglevels
so that it is not spammed.
