Didn't you ask this a long time ago?  This is not a showstopper for 
hibernation, it simply can't wake up the controller (which quite possibly 
doesn't exist anyway).  Just create: 

$ cat /etc/pm/config.d/05suspend_modules
# modules to be unloaded before suspend and loaded on resume
SUSPEND_MODULES="i8042"

which will do an "rmmod" on hibernation and an "insmod" on resume.

That would seem far more relevant.  Do you now have a swap partition?
