You can chain this without nesting...
If sleep_prepare() succeeds but nvs_alloc() fails, you should undo
sleep_prepare here, right?

Can someone call these for !hibernation case? Should they fake success
if they do call them?

Maybe separate nvs.c file would be good? I believe this _is_ acpi
specific, altrough in theory it may not be.
