 I'd say it is very important, not just nice. The corruption issue (this
 ticket) is obviously foremost, but it's important that ticket 4013 also be
 resolved, since having everything in the root fs come up "not found" after
 a suspend/resume cycle is quite user unfriendly; using an SD swap
 partition should also work flawlessly, (what more reasonable place is
 there for a swap partition?) Note that in the absence of suspend (i.e.
 build 656), all of the above worked just fine.

 That being said, congratulations on the significant progress on tracking
 down the cause(s) of the SD/suspend issues over the past couple weeks.
