Implementing 'Software suspend in FreeBSD' as a final year project.

[Pranav Peshwe]

Hello,

>1. Read the suspend/resume sections (S4 in particular) of the ACPI spec:

We have downloaded the ACPI spec and will start 
reading it soon.

>2. Review the source code and email list archives for Linux software 
>suspend 2:  http://www.suspend2.net

Went through the patch and found some useful documentation of how 
they have actually implemented suspend2.
To get an atomic copy of the pages,they have divided the pages into two
 'pagesets',which are dumped to the disk one after the other, rather than
 simply writing entire memory contents to the disk page after page.

We certainly will :)

Sincere regards,
Pranav
