Yeah, it's a problem with no good solution.  Really, when it comes down
to it, *something* has to actually do suspend+resume methods for all
hardware.  Normally this is the kernel.  In the case of video, nothing
wants to do it.

I'd argue it should be the kernel for video, too, but developers are not
going to be happy with where that train of thought leads us :(
