I got TuxOnIce[1] patched[2] and as far as testing the hibernate
step[3] before I gave up after TuxOnIce refused to save the image (it
just rebooted[4] instead).

It's a bit too much of a time sink for me to hope to get much more
done on, though.  Hopefully someone else can pursue it or
alternatives.

 [should just create memory image, but just rebooted right away]
