See Documentation/power/video.rst for information on
s3_bios and s3_mode.
s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
+ s4_hwsig causes the kernel to check the ACPI hardware
+ signature during resume from hibernation, and gracefully
+ refuse to resume if it has changed. This complies with
+ the ACPI specification but not with reality, since
+ Windows does not do this and many laptops do change it
+ on docking. So the default behaviour is to allow resume
+ and simply warn when the signature changes, unless the
+ s4_hwsig option is enabled.
s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
- used during resume from hibernation.
+ used (or even warned about) during resume.
old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
control method, with respect to putting devices into
low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
