This is still not supported, although a lot of the code is there.
Fixing this stuff up is on my taskqueue, but a lot of design work needs
to be done first. (Extending sysmon/powerd, replacing powerhook etc.)

That being said, there are patches floating around the net that will
let you invoke the suspend kernel code.  Depending on your hw config,
things may work, though probably not.
