True. Feel free to produce a column; I don't have any experience with
BIOS support for suspending, so don't know what it can/can't do and

I'm not sure that PM_DISK does use the bios. In fact, I'm pretty sure it
doesn't. Feel free to prove me wrong.

Software Suspend 2 works in a very similar way to Software Suspend.
