Hi Russell,
Thanks for your reply and please excuse me for my ignorance of ARM. 

So 32-bit ARM Linux can hibernate even if it doesn't support ACPI, but
I guess not all 32-bit ARM machines support hibernation? If my guess
is correct, is there any standard capability bit or something that can be
used to tell if an ARM machine supports hibernation? I'm purely curious. :-)

Do you imply 64-bit ARM Linux supports ACPI and the ACPI S4 state?
If not, how can we tell if a 64-bit ARM machine supports hibernation or not?

Thanks,
