Hi!
Small updates to documentation, sanity checks turned into BUG_ONs to
save space, fix recovery on resume error. Please apply,

+FAQ:

+Q: well, suspending a server is IMHO a really stupid thing,
+but... (Diego Zuccato):
+
+A: You bought new UPS for your server. How do you install it without
+bringing machine down? Suspend to disk, rearrange power cables,
+resume.
+
+You have your server on UPS. Power died, and UPS is indicating 30
+seconds to failure. What do you do? Suspend to disk.
+
+Ethernet card in your server died. You want to replace it. Your
+server is not hotplug capable. What do you do? Suspend to disk,
+replace ethernet card, resume. If you are fast your users will not
+even see broken connections.
+
Any other idea you might have tell me!
