Actually no, I was not in cc.

Just put the comment before the define for long comments?

Should we create CONFIG_FREEZER?

Hmmm, I do not really like softlockup watchdog running during suspend.
Can we make this freezeable and make watchdog shut itself off while
suspending?

Fix rcutorture instead. It has no business running while suspending.

Same here.
Eventually, we should fix apm, too.

Does this mean we have userland /linuxrc running with PF_NOFREEZE?
That would be very bad...

Eh? Why does kprobes code depend on config_pm?
