3. Usability.

Right now, kexec based hibernation looks quite complicated to configure,
and the user is apparently going to have to remember to boot a different
kernel or at least a different bootloader entry in order to resume. Not
a plus. It would be good if you could find a way to use one bootloader
entry, resuming if there's an image, booting normally if there's not.

I don't see any reason why this couldn't be done with an initrd to decide if you are doing a normal boot or a restore.
