Well, if there is a function pointer in the core suspend code initially set to
NULL and exported to modules such that the dm-crypt code can set it to
something else, that should be sufficient, shouldn't it?

So if you're adding new PM notifier events, that's already more than *you* need.

Anyway, I guess the "post freeze" new one should be enough for now, but please
change the name to POST_FREEZE.

Also I think we don't need separate "post freeze" events for suspend and
hibernation.

Thanks,
Rafael
