    Add support driver for Intel Rapid Start Technology · 34a956db
    Matthew Garrett authored
    Intel Rapid Start Technology is a firmware-based suspend-to-disk
    implementation. Once placed in S3, the device will wake once either a
    timeout elapses or the battery reaches a critical level. It will then resume
    to the firmware and copy the contents of RAM to a specialised partition, and
    then power off the machine. If the user turns the machine back on the
    firmware will copy the contents of the partition back to RAM and then resume
    from S3 as normal.
    
    This driver provides an interface for configuring the wakeup events and
    timeout. It still requires firmware support and an appropriate suspend
    partition.
