Hmm, that could be because suspend.c does PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE and
hibernate.c does PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE. So the statement

"PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE  The system is going to hibernate or suspend,"

is wrong.

Hi Rafael, it seems to me that if we need to do something for both sleep
methods, we have different notifier states and we have to add them both
if we want to do stuff for both, correct?
