 So, we have this problem of userspace taking too long to resume because
 driverspace takes too long to resume.  But, this wasn't always a
 synchronous process -- on powerpc, the freezer never happens and we start
 scheduling pretty early in the kernel resume (right?).

 If we're lucky, what happens is that userspace is quickly responsive
 again, and we're able to draw on the screen and so on for the ~800ms that
 USB is blocking while the devices come up.  If we're not particularly
 unlucky, the stuff that happens to break is fixable with a small amount of
 effort.

 Thoughts?
