kobject_uevent in kernel does not mean we have to abuse it for suspend notifycation.
(How would that notifycation work, btw? If done asynchronously, system will be suspended
before processes will have chance to do anything).

1st explain why such notifycation is needed

2nd we can talk about how to do the notifycation

3rd we create example script and put it into Documentation

(We do not have async notify of reboot nor powerdown in kernel; this is similar).
