[PATCH v7 2/2] ARM hibernation / suspend-to-disk

[Sebastian Capella]

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your comments.

I've posted a different solution for arm only here, that just causes a
while loop in machine_power_off in the event it's called but does not
halt.

I hope this will all be handled by the loop in machine_power_off, so
maybe this will not be needed.

Thanks!
