This is intrinsically difficult with PCs, since we have such a poorly 
defined set of wakeup events. We can't wakeup on generic network 
traffic, just WoL. Many machines won't wake up on keyboard events. 
Meanwhile, on embedded it's becoming a less interesting problem because 
idle and suspended are often now equivalent states. Concentrating on 
runtime PM of as much hardware as possible is arguably more interesting 
for the majority of use cases.
