Ok, I have created the patch with guidelines, which I will be sending in a separate mail
Also, this time I have tested my patch it by "git am".

Provide the information in documentation, and provide better abstraction so as to hide

Valid point! , removed from the code.

We often use suspend to memory in our mobile domain and is much useful.
Suspend to disk could be useful for special cases of hibernate like debugging.
Couldn't find the use of standby constraint, but I added in code so as to provide completeness to the framework.
Please let me know your feedback.
