Quick reply - it can't.

I'm not aware of any such list, what's missing is (more or less) some
glue to talk to the PMU. Shouldn't be too hard to do, I've been reading
some related Darwin source ( looks like we can get away with saving some
state and sending a command to the PMU to fall asleep on most models )
but so far I didn't have the time for any serious hacking, there was
always something else to do.
Some code to talk to apmd is already there, after all we can (usually)
report battery status.

have fun
Michael
