Please do not use the OLPC laptop as an example.  The power management software is not nearly
close to being finished, and OLPC has suffered greatly from lack of manpower (I'll spare you
the details of _why_ we haven't had enough people).  In reality, there should be no reason why
we can't do <200ms  resume; however, no one within the organization has even _started_
optimizing away the extra 800ms that we deal with.

The automatic suspend stuff that we had been toying with was merely a hack.
