When does restoring state become a necessity as opposed to just disconnecting the devices upon hibernate and reconnecting them afresh when the device wakes up?

If there is a running process using that device before/after hibernate, it needs to know it should re-configure it. There is currently no way to pass this information to a Linux process, and quite a task to add the feature to all existing programs.

Right, that seems more tractable than trying to restore the actual state of the device though which sounds like a different problem.
