w/ suspend to swap, we can run linexec w/ the correct kernel parameters to
load linux in a fast way (just resume the system running before).

One thing that we may be can do: "save" the windows status+memory to some
place, and when rebooting or halting, just put back windows.
w/ that, we can do a proper hibernate - to wake up, just run linexec to resume
the suspended system.

onboard - at least in my latest test w/ 2.6, keyboad boots w/ a wrong keymap.

nice!
but I was talking in the implementation in kernel, just like macs, that works
all the time (CONFIG_MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN).
but you are right, we should use uinput instead, and use userland tools.

i said that to consume less time in the port, but you are right.
