No objections, but a cleanup request:

As far as I can tell, that "SOCKET_SUSPEND" test is totally pointless. 
That socket _is_ going to be suspended, and testing for it here just seems 
to confuse things. 

So I'd remove it from both early_resume and late_resume, and only keep it 
in the case of the legacy user-requested suspend/resume (do we even do 
that any more?).

The SOCKET_SUSPEND flag itself is still relevant, of course, since the 
state change handling will test it (in order to avoid insert/remove 
handlign while we have the suspend flag set). It's just that the suspend 
code shouldn't _test_ it, since the suspend code is what sets it in the 
first place.
