To you and Richard, mabye.  To me, not so much.  To an end user, you may
as well ask them to jump to the moon.

I have read the suspend quirk index before.  How do I write a quirk that
says:
* On system Q with video hardware R and graphics driver S, use quirks 
  A, B, C.  
* On system Q with video hardware T and video driver U, use quirks 
  C, D.
* On system Q with video hardware T and video driver V, no quirks 
  are required.
