If I'm reading Documentation/power/notifiers.txt correctly, we only need
PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE when we go to sleep (whatever hibernation method
we use) and PM_POST_HIBERNATION when we restore.

I don't think it matters for expediting RCU grace periods whether
we had an error during resume or not and I'd basically want to set
rcu_expedited to 0 unconditionally when resuming..

Hmm.
