From bootparam(8):

      'resume=...'
              This tells the kernel the location of the suspend-to-disk data 
that you want the machine to resume from after hibernation.
        Usually, it is the same as your swap partition or file.  Example:

                resume=/dev/hda2

There is no corresponding entry for resume_offset. I don't know if that's 
because Fedora doesn't support it.
