I would propose to use this keys:
  (bool) power_management.can_suspend_to_ram
  (bool) power_management.can_suspend_to_disk

This property names would be more 	self-explanatory and would be compatible 
with the names from ACPI4Linux project. Btw. you can't find any hit if you 
search for hibernate in the ACPI spec v2 or v3 (this name was a MS 
fabrication). 

The kernel reports mem and disk, so we should IMO name them by the same way. 

Cheers,

Danny
