what are "the gentoo kernel suspend modules"?  None of the kernels in 
portage are really gentoo kernels, but they're kernel.org (or other) 
kernels, with gentoo (and other) patches.

If you mean gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources, then tuxonice patches 
haven't been applied, and I don't _think_ kernel.org's kernel suspend 
uses compression. At least not lzf.  Someone else will answer here :)

There is of course tuxonice-sources though!
