Indeed.  I am not merging any changes to SUSPEND/HIBERNATE keymaps,
until some interested party comes up with a PROPER migration plan and
helps implementing it across the entire kernel and userspace.

This obviously mean new keycodes for S3 and S4-specific sleep, that
won't change the meaning of the old ones.  There is also the generic
(whatever the system think its best) sleep.

X.org's braindead limit of 255 keycodes won't help any.
