  The whole point behind the excercise is to conserve energy.  Suspend
to ram means that the ram has to be kept powered, so it's a low-power
state.  I want a no-power state, i.e. I want to be able to shut down,
pull the plug out of the wall, go away for the week end, plug it back in
and reboot on Monday to find that everything is where I left it.
