Also could go into the kvm package instead. Probably shouldn't be done generally in pm-utils (the mantra of fix the real problem, don't add more bodges around it ;-) > * Is it safe to rmmod kvm and kvm_x before suspend? Relatively. Although I vaguely remember having it cause an interesting problem once or twice, but not reproducibly enough to actually figure out what was going on. > * Is there any work on adding suspend and resume hooks into the kvm > driver to support suspend? The bigger thing is there's a need to add some hooks so that kvm can do things at the right point in the suspend sequence. Avi has patches, but they missed the .22 merge window. I need to sit down (maybe today) and refresh the Fedora kvm patch; I was thinking of pushing those changes in at the same time so that this can go away. And if that pans out for a little bit in rawhide, it could easily go out as an F7 update.
