TuxOnIce uses all the standard driver calls and doesn't modify the 
suspend-to-ram code. The only reason there's this difference in what 
gets frozen is that upstream haven't yet seen that it's an advantage to 
freeze those kernel threads too (and I haven't worked to make the case 
well enough). Apart from those extra threads being frozen, everything is 
vanilla.
