Is it equivalent?
Can the kernel hibernate support write a compressed and encrypted image to swap?
Does it allow showing a splash for suspend progress?

That's not only about video quirks.
This one is required to forbid messing with the suspend image in swap by
rebooting in another kernel:
/usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/01bootloader

There may be some other useful ones, notifying apps about resume, like:
/usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/95packagekit
