2. Make shock protection interact nicely with suspend operations:
   currently, we are out of luck if anything should happen after

I'd say that s2disk is similar to early boot... no protection there.

Well, this is true for resume. However, I can't help thinking that we
may do better than that until the disk spins down, particularly while
writing the image to disk.

Agreed.
Practically, disk protection during suspend-to-disk sounds very
useful, given the typical usage scenario: you press button to
hibernate and start shuffling around your chair/desk in preparation
for leaving the room. Dropping the laptop is more likely than ever at
this point. Resume-from-disk tends to be done after settling down into
your chair/desk, so the drop risk is lower.
