+ some ARM experts who worked on arch/arm/kernel/hibernate.c.

drivers/acpi/sleep.c is only built if ACPI_SYSTEM_POWER_STATES_SUPPORT
is defined, but it looks this option is not defined on ARM.

It looks ARM does not support the ACPI S4 state, then how do we know 
if an ARM host supports hibernation or not?
