Please stop using FUD. 
Graphical progress it's not in the kernel, even with suspend2.

I beg to differ:
  Compressed 904687616 bytes into 418828687 (53 percent compression).

Almost 500mb less to write (did I mention it writes the full image?).
Now imagine the time it takes to write that with those pesky 4200rpm
laptop hdds.

That would be suspend2ui_text , an userspace app.
It also works without it.

IMHO this is only an step in an "arms race".
What you will do in three months, remove this check because it will
prove useless since the spammers will also retry ? If yes, why install
it in the first place ?

IMHO you really need then to make acpi_specific_hotkey the default or at
least mention it in the release notes or you'll have tons of people
screaming that the specific module does not work anymore.
I found out about it after my toshiba_acpi module stopped working and I
noticed a small change in the development acpi tree documentation
mentioning acpi_specific_hotkey ...

Does your toshiba use an Phoenix BIOS ?
If yes, the toshiba_acpi module does not apply.
