System Power Management Phases
------------------------------
Suspending or resuming the system is done in several phases. Different phases
are used for standby or memory sleep states ("suspend-to-RAM") and the
are used for freeze, standby, and memory sleep states ("suspend-to-RAM") and the
hibernation state ("suspend-to-disk"). Each phase involves executing callbacks
for every device before the next phase begins. Not all busses or classes
support all these callbacks and not all drivers use all the callbacks. The

Hibernating the system is more complicated than putting it into the other

The kernel supports four power management states generically, though
one is generic and the other three are dependent on platform support
code to implement the low-level details for each state.
This file describes each state, what they are
commonly called, what ACPI state they map to, and what string to write
to /sys/power/state to enter that state
state: Freeze / Low-Power Idle
ACPI state: S0
String: "freeze"
This state is a generic, pure software, light-weight, low-power state.
It allows more energy to be saved relative to idle by freezing user
space and putting all I/O devices into low-power states (possibly
lower-power than available at run time), such that the processors can
spend more time in their idle states.
This state can be used for platforms without Standby/Suspend-to-RAM
support, or it can be used in addition to Suspend-to-RAM (memory sleep)
to provide reduced resume latency.
