I don't understand. The resume code stays in the f-segment. When it is called it doesn't relocate itself, and doesn't reference the relocated memory.
If relocation is done before checking for S3 resume the following may happen:
Relocation is only done after checking for resume.
On a normal boot the code flow is:
reset_vector -> entry_post_official -> entry_post -> _start -> post
(The first two are just stubs for old DOS compatibility.)
On an s3 resume entry_post detects that it is a resume and the code flow becomes:
reset_vector -> entry_post_official -> entry_post -> handle_resume -> s3_resume
Of the above, the build ensures only post() (and functions/data that can _only_ be reached via post) are relocated. So, a resume event shouldn't be a problem because all of that code/data is left in the f-segment.
