Why do we still ship hal-system-power-pmu / PMU support suboptimal in pm-utils

You can do this with a scripting language, too, for example, by
calling perl in a shell script:

---- put to sleep ----
perl <<EOF
sub PMU_IOC_SLEEP { 0x20004200; }
open PMU, "/dev/pmu" or die "open /dev/pmu: \$!";
ioctl PMU, &PMU_IOC_SLEEP, 0;
EOF
-----------------------

---- query sleep capability ----
perl << EOF && echo "can sleep"
sub PMU_IOC_CAN_SLEEP { 0x40044205; }
open PMU, '/dev/pmu' or die "open /dev/pmu: \$!";
\$p = pack 'l', 0;
ioctl PMU, &PMU_IOC_CAN_SLEEP, \$p or die "ioctl: \$!";
(\$v) = unpack 'l', \$p;
exit (\$v ? 0 : 1);
EOF
--------------------------------
