Looking at 09f98a8 (the change originally introducing the hook)
and comparing with the rest of the changes to hwsleep.c, I would
think this one didn't come from the ACPICA tree either.

But anyway - if I really need to do that, are there any pointers as
to where to submit this to, and how to make sure it gets picked up
rather sooner than later?
