Another thing I did not think about is security. This patch allows some pretty drastic things, like shutting down swap partitions that are in use. Does this mean we need to check capabilities?
Not from what I can tell. That is, I didn't notice for any other drivers (or frameworks) adding such policies. These are just mechanism hooks after all.
Such policies would need to be consistent across the whole kernel ... and from what I can tell, the whole notion of "vetoable suspend requests" has fallen by the wayside.
