You know, it would be a good idea to take a step back and think about a broader picture. Suspend and hibernate need to be mutually exclusive with other things as well. The two examples which people have been talking about are firmware updates (if the computer goes to sleep while the firmware is being changed, it ends up as a brick) and battery recharging (the CPU needs to respond quickly to temperature and charger events). There ought to be a general-purpose "prevent system sleep" mechanism usable both from within the kernel and from userspace.
