(it doesnt matter if graphics does not resume fine - at least for my tests) kprobes had similar problems and it now has a few simple smoke-tests - which i just saw trigger on a patch that i did not notice would break kprobes. I think this should be done for all functionality that is not regularly triggered by a normal distro bootup (and which is easy to overlook in testing).
