I thought we had setup the /proc/version_signature file for this very
reason?

Also, it's very easy to test for /var/run/reboot-required, which shows
that some update of the system is requiring a reboot. The largest user
of this file is the kernel. I would be willing to bet that other users
would also be grounds for not hibernating.

So if the hibernation scripts test for /var/run/reboot-required, they
could use this as a means for deciding not to hibernate.
