The problem is the PSCI 1.0 SYSTEM_SUSPEND definition: we can't pass something
like stateid as in CPU_SUSPEND to firmware. The stateid is used to tell
firmware to go to different Sleep state, for example S2 or S3.

With your RFC patch, it's easy to extend to support this feature, but if we
are limited to SYSTEM_SUSPEND in PSCI 1.0, we have to use a different code
path for non-S3 sleep state.

Is there any elegant solution?
