But this implied that normal suspend is not safe, but it is. I don't want
to start the discussion again, but IMO we should it simply name what it
is (suspend2both) and let the UI translate it to whatever the userspace
want (maybe 'Safe suspend' in GPM, 'Suspend To Both' in KPowersave and
something complete different in an other tool).
