 When doing a large number of suspend/resume cycles (tens of thousands), we
 occasionally see a kernel crash upon resume.

 After filtering out the kernel crashes due to actual kernel bugs, we are
 left with a number of crashes which appear due to hardware problems,
 specifically memory corruption.

 This seems to favor certain laptops, and is not seen on all machines.
 There is a special version of OFW (q2d01a) which implements a comparison
 of memory before and after the resume.  It may be used to test
 specifically for this case.
