yes, this has been done before in VM, where its easy to create

as for barebone Checkpoint/restore, it seems too tightly copuled  to

good things about doing with suspendX could be generic approach & fast
resume of workspace.
there could be a few interesting things to iron out though. (eg.,
prevent accidental unplug)
