Add suspending to disk as a way to screw your XFS partition. If XFS can't
handle a normal kernel function like suspending, I have a hard time trusting
it with random PANICS and hardware failures.
AFAICT, I had to reinstall twice due to the "." entry being removed from a
directory and not being able to xfs_repair it. Accessing the directory caused
an immediate removal of all xfs volumes on my system. Since everything was
XFS, I was left with only input/output errors and had to hard reboot.
