Can we have them a bit differently? Like

    --quirk-vbe_save:   save VBE state before suspending and restore after resume.    
    --quirk-vbe_post:   VBE POST the graphics card after resume
    --quirk-vbe_mode:   get VBE mode before suspend and set it after resume

And maybe we can also support these in hal?

    --quirk-pci_save:   save the PCI config space for the VGA card.
    --quirk_radeontool: turn off the backlight on radeons before suspending.

That way they equal the command-line options of s2ram (except for the
--quirk of course)

Finally, maybe we can add s3_mode and s3_bios (bios=1, mode=2, both=1+2), that
is the way the go into /proc/sys/kernel/acpi_video_flags. That can also
be done in pm-tools.
