Have we thought about how this is going to work in practice, e.g. on
mobile systems? It seems to me that there are a variety of common
applications which might want to use this which people don't expect to
inhibit hibernate (e.g. authentication agents, web browsers).

Are we happy to say that any userspace application can incidentally
inhibit hibernate?

Thanks,
Mark.
