indicates (once again) that the hibernate code is simply not
quiescing filesystems properly (i.e. by freezing them). The work
that caused this problem is stopped by the filesystem when it
is frozen, and started again when it is thawed...
IOWs, a stupid spam filter.

I'll see if I can get this fixed.
Actually I've nailed it down to a commit between 3.7.1 and 3.7.10. I'll do some git bisection and come back with the results.
Regarding ToI and filesystem freezing, I guess I need to start delving into the code to see if I can fix it - long but fun journey ahead I guess.
