Yes, but this is not there atm. What I would see as minimum that we get the 
sleep/s2disk(hibernate) events as we already have from normal ACPI events. I 
don't see why we should not emit signals for them. 

Btw. nobody needs to depend on this signals, and there is also no need that 
HAL should depend on kernel 2.6.21, where 2.6.20 is not release currently.
