This is a very bad idea, but users do it, if the resume seems to be stuck.
And vbetool post / vbetool vbestate restore _can_ take quite some time on some
machines. And yes, i got bugreports in the past from people doing that.

I'm not saying it is a good idea - the contrary, but with s3_bios,s3_mode,
users don't even get a chance to press alt-f7. With vbetool they do.
