This isn't really anything to do with OE.  You would probably do better
to ask the kernel h4x0rs for your machine, and/or the
swsusp/suspend2/uswsusp maintainers.

That aside, though, I would have thought that the power draw of a SIMpad
in suspend-to-RAM mode would probably be low enough that you could reach
an acceptable level of dark current that way without needing to get into
suspend-to-disk.  Suspend to RAM is a whole lot simpler and should "just
work" with any current kernel.
