[PATCH] Document tricks to get S3_swsusp working

From: Trivial Patch Monkey <trivial@rustcorp.com.au>

From:  Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>

I was sending this to users that had problems with swsusp, then lost it.  It
would be nice to have it directly in the tree.

swsusp/S3 tricks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz>
If you want to trick swsusp/S3 into working, you might want to try:
* go with minimal config, turn off drivers like USB, AGP you don't
really need
* use ext2. At least it has working fsck. [If something seemes to go
wrong, force fsck when you have a chance]
* turn off modules
* use vga text console, shut down X. [If you really want X, you might
want to try vesafb later]
* try running as few processes as possible, preferably go to single
user mode.
* due to video issues, swsusp should be easier to get working than
S3. Try that first.
When you make it work, try to find out what exactly was it that broke
suspend, and preferably fix that.
