The mechanics of telling the PMU to shut down aren't the hard part -
I've fiddled around and written code that does that. However, it's not
useful, because what's really missing is saving the state of a lot of
hardware devices that lose all their state when put to
sleep. Basically, what is needed is for ~every driver on a macppc
laptop to get power hooks, and then for someone to test that our power
hook infrastructure is actually sufficent. This is an uphill task,
because we don't do it on other platforms, either; the APM sleep on
x86 boxes takes care of the relevant state management.
