Patch that adds the requested feature

I have patched pm-utils to allow standby to work even though suspend doesn't work.  To be clear, standby is S1 ACPI power state and suspend is S3 ACPI power state.  The file /sys/power/state will contain "mem" if the linux kernel supports suspend, and will contain "standby" if it supports standby.

On my system only standby is available, so this is the output I get from running the following command:

$ cat /sys/power/state
standby disk
$ sudo pm-suspend; echo $?
1

I have triaged the bug, modified pm-utils so standby to work on my system, and created a patch against the git repository.
