I can't see any reason for anything special to happen either at suspend or resume, and the lack of a power handler prevents the system from going to sleep at all.ipmi(4) should probably not suspend if its watchdog timer is active.
Would it be sufficient for ipmi(4) to refuse to suspend (return false from the suspend method) if the watchdog is active?
Or should it make some sort of effort to disable the watchdog, and attempt to reenable the watchdog during the subsequent resume?
