The code for determining the content is part of the core of Suspend2, and transformations (compression and/or encryption) and storage of the pages are handled by 'modules'. The name is currently mostly historical, from the time when these components could be built as kernel modules. That function was dropped to help with merging, but I'd like to reintroduce it later, since some embedded developers want to use Suspend2 to improve boot times. If/when that happens, I'll do it in a way that doesn't require as many exported symbols as was previously required. For now, though, the name remains, along with a few functions that are needed for building as modules. My expectation is that merging will take some time; perhaps by that time, I'll have modular support back in, in a better form.
