Booting with an OpenSBI including the RFC series[1] implementing the
draft proposal for SBI system suspend[2] we can add system support to
Linux. This support implements "suspend-to-RAM", which means when a
kernel is built with CONFIG_SUSPEND 'echo mem > /sys/power/state' will
initiate a suspension.
This has only been tested on QEMU using the OpenSBI system suspend
test. The test just waits 5 seconds and then resumes. To truly use
system suspend a platform must have a low-level firmware implementation
and provide at least one wake-up event, such as from a wakeup-capable
RTC alarm, to resume.

Note, this is a v2 of an RFC because I'm leaving the patch in RFC
state until the spec is approved.
RFC-v2:
- RISCV_SBI dependency [Conor]
- Rename SBI_EXT_SUSP_SUSPEND to SBI_EXT_SUSP_SYSTEM_SUSPEND and
SBI_SUSP_SLEEP_TYPE_SUSPEND to SBI_SUSP_SLEEP_TYPE_SUSPEND_TO_RAM [Ley Foon]
