Hmm, I regret to follow up that this only works in rare cases.  Most of
the time the machine hangs during suspend, or runs into USB timeouts
(umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT), or both -- I'm not sure, I may have
been impatient before seeing the USB timeout message sometimes.

Also on one occasion where the suspend did work I then power cycled the
disk before resume, and then at resume I got a panic about not being
able to access the disk.

So I guess I was wrong with about 98% of my statements :-(  -- it
doesn't work yet.
