    I must have missed something in the evolution of Linux because I'm
extremely surprised initramfs has anything to do with suspend/resume.
For me it was purely a kernel buizness, a mechanism in which all of the
memory and registers is dumped to the swap partition. At the time when
suspend occurs, the initramfs is already gone forever and, when resuming
the kernel restarts the system where it was suspended.
