Well, there are. I was just about to add one to my system to use
tuxonice with encrypted swap. AFAICS there's no way to have both at the
moment without an initrd. Although I don't really see why it *should*
be, cryptsetup being the only thing that needs to run before I can
resume; I think it should be possible to hack some in-kernel cryptsetup
using kdb's keyboard handling, just that nobody has done it yet :)
cheers,
Matthias
