Hmm. Suspend to both means something to me, but if we are going to
express this in the UI we need a better name in my opinion.

If it's in the UI and in common use in the tools, the name in hal should
probably reflect this.

If I understand correctly, s2both is basically a hibernate that is woken
up like normal quickly, or if the battery fails then it's like a normal
resume from hibernate.

Is the "suspending" a similar time to hibernate or suspend?
Is the "resuming" a similar time to hibernate or suspend?

If it is what I think it is, maybe something like "safe suspend" might
be okay, although "quick hibernate" might also be suitable.
