Subject: kconfig: mention 'hibernation' not just swsusp
From: David Brownell <david-b@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Clarify that "software suspend" is what's called "hibernation" in most user
interfaces, shrinking a terminology gap. (Examples include Gnome and
MS-Windows.)
Also provide a more succinct description of what it does, so you won't have
to read the whole novel in Kconfig; and highlights just why the lack of
BIOS requirements for swsusp are a big deal.

You can suspend your machine with 'echo disk > /sys/power/state'.
Alternatively, you can use the additional userland tools available
from <http://suspend.sf.net>.
In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example
- ACPI will be used if available.
+ ACPI will be used for the final steps when it is available. One

+ well with Linux.
It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon the next
