This seems pretty ugly since it's not integrated with the suspend state
binding at all - adding new suspend modes is going to involve changing
the binding which seems icky.  Adding a standard property to set modes
doesn't seem so bad, I think a translation function to parse device
specific mode bindings in properties might be the way forwards.
