This uses suspend2, which is an externally maintained patch to the
kernel [1].  Suspend2 may work better than the in-kernel suspend
implementation for some cases.

I know nothing about the hardened kernel, but you should be able to
enable the 'normal' suspend to disk and suspend to ram options.  Look
under "Power management options..." and turn on "Software Suspend" for
suspend-to-disk support.  You can also add "ACPI...->Sleep States" for
suspend-to-ram.

I highly recommend merging and using hibernate-script.  This is an
advanced script that can handle most suspend/standby tasks.  Just edit
the config file[s] in /etc/hibernate/, and run "hibernate -F
<path_to_config>".

I also recommend getting the ~arch version of hibernate-script, so
that you can start off using the new config file layout.
