Why not? Of course you won't get any output before the graphics card has been
re-initialized to a sane and usable state...

True. I do it on my Dell 600m (Radeon 9000M) using usermodehelper and
it works just fine. It works both with VGA and X. I need to split up
the thaw_processes into two stages though. It may not work with fb as
fb driver resumes earlier. I use the patch below for the kernel and a
userlevel x86 emulator.

I have to say though, it will help if we have a such an emulator in the kernel.

Just a quick question: is this the right way to distinguish kernel
threads? I've been checking if the process has an mm context (if p->mm).

Many today claim to be tolerant. True tolerance, however, can cope with others
being intolerant.
