Do you mean USB subsystem infrastructure, or something more far-reaching?

It seems to me that it's SO close to being functional; in fact, I've
taken to not loading any USB drivers at all on my notebook, which
seems to be the only "reliable" way of using suspend/resume -- that's
not to say that it's perfect, but Pretty Good(TM).

Also, If we could round-up the various sysctl settings and document
them in one place([1] or [2]), I imagine many users would have
suspend/resume as a workable feature, at least on amd64...
