first .. i can't recommend reiserfs, because its nearly unmaintained, and it has
a long history for making trouble/shredder and data.

on big change from 2.6.20 -> 22 was the move to "work queues", this move is
showing how broken/unstable the current hibernate is.

for the sake of your data.. just use an pre 2.6.22 kernel or wait for a
better implementation of the hibernate path the kernel, or if you have time,
report the problem to the lkml.
