Hi Pavel, Russ,

I have been looking and working with Russ' most recent branch based
on the 3.12 kernel, which includes the big pile of patches for OMAP.
(https://github.com/russdill/linux/commits/arm-hibernation-am33xx-v3.12)

He has hibernation mostly working and I have been able to run 1400 or
so entry/exits overnight there on beaglebone black without issue.
Combining this with device activity has been tricky.  An active
network will lose the link on restore.  Active SD traffic will
eventually hang (Last night ran for about 11 hours before hanging
after ~350 or so hibernations).  I have not found where this is or
the cause.

If you want to go ahead with upstreaming the base patch, Russ, would you
like me to do that for you or will you have time to do this?

Otherwise, I am still looking at how to get this upstream by verifying
on omap 5.  In my case, I still have the chicken egg problem, where I'm 
trying to verify on omap 5 with out of tree patches.

Thanks,

Sebastian
