Suspend to RAM on a machine with / on a fuse filesystem turns out to be 
a screaming nightmare - either the suspend fails because syslog (for 
instance) can't be frozen, or the machine deadlocks for some other 
reason I haven't tracked down. We could "fix" fuse, or alternatively we 
could do what we do for suspend to RAM on other platforms (PPC and APM) 
and just not use the freezer.
