Subject: [PATCH] uswsusp: add pmops->{prepare,enter,finish} support (aka "platform mode")

From: Stefan Seyfried <seife@...e.de>

Add an ioctl to the userspace swsusp code that enables the usage of the
pmops->prepare, pmops->enter and pmops->finish methods (the in-kernel
suspend knows these as "platform method"). These are needed on many machines
to (among others) speed up resuming by letting the BIOS skip some steps or
let my hp nx5000 recognise the correct ac_adapter state after resume again.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Seyfried <seife@...e.de>

Patch is against 2.6.18. AFAIK little has changed in this area recently, so
it should still apply. I have two machines that are pretty broken without it,
so it is rather urgent for me :-)
Please apply.
