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.
