Again, hibernation often doesn't fail because of a particular system,
but because of how you set it up, use it, and which peripherals you
connect. So what does that "works" mean in that case? It works "for
some cases with a default partitioning and no extra devices attached
after a clean boot"? That should be the case for pretty much any
system these days.

I thought we wanted to disable it because it's utterly slow, and
confusing to have two ways of sleeping. And that isn't hw dependent
either?
