Yes, I agree.
In practical, I did see intervening messages (between pr_info and
pr_cont) when it came to long sync in kernel.
I was hesitated in this considering not fully understanding the
backdrop of split messages using pr_info() then pr_cont().

One potential last-mile need your wisdom, which is about the switch
case of SNAPSHOT_FREEZE of the userspace interface you wrote.
I am yet to touch it, nor understand how to validate it.

That said, I am digesting your documents and source; I used the pm_test
from the doc to validate the patch on hibernation partially even non of
my handy laptons fully work well on it.
