Public bug reported:

[Impact]

The 5.8 kernel (groovy) is not still 100% reliable with hibernation,
especially on the Xen instance type. However, re-aligning the config
options as much as possible with the 5.4 kernel (focal) allows to
hibernate and resume with a success rate close to 100% (according to our
tests on the AWS cloud).

[Test case]

 - spin up an AWS instance (for example a c4.8xlarge instance type)
 - run a memory stress test
 - hibernate
 - resume
 - verify that the system has been resumed correctly and the memory stress test 
is still running

[Fix]

Identify the minimum subset of config changes that we need to apply to
the 5.8 kernel to make hibernation as reliable as 5.4.

[Regression potential]

Still need to be evaluated exactly, probably we will have to apply only
.config changes, so regression potential will be minimal.
