Hey folks --

In preparation for the next release, I'm working on some patches for
allowing userland to initiate ACPI sleep from userspace.

If anyone wants to try the patches from this site, feedback would be
appreciated:

S1 sleep is currently broken; should be fixed shortly. S3 "should work"
assuming that your hw drivers' powerhooks work properly.

No guarantees!!!

Cheers,
Jared
