After commit 2a77c46de1e3dace73745015635ebbc648eca69c
(PM / Suspend: Add statistics debugfs file for suspend to RAM)
a missing pair of braces inside the state_store() function causes even
invalid arguments to suspend to be wrongly treated as failed suspend
attempts. Fix this.

[rjw: Put the hash/subject of the buggy commit into the changelog.]

These files were getting &lt;linux/module.h&gt; via an implicit non-obvious
path, but we want to crush those out of existence since they cost
time during compiles of processing thousands of lines of headers
for no reason.  Give them the lightweight header that just contains
the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure.

Record S3 failure time about each reason and the latest two failed
devices' names in S3 progress.
We can check it through 'suspend_stats' entry in debugfs.

The motivation of the patch:

We are enabling power features on Medfield. Comparing with PC/notebook,
a mobile enters/exits suspend-2-ram (we call it s3 on Medfield) far
more frequently. If it can't enter suspend-2-ram in time, the power
might be used up soon.

We often find sometimes, a device suspend fails. Then, system retries
s3 over and over again. As display is off, testers and developers
don't know what happens.

Some testers and developers complain they don't know if system
tries suspend-2-ram, and what device fails to suspend. They need
such info for a quick check. The patch adds suspend_stats under
debugfs for users to check suspend to RAM statistics quickly.

If not using this patch, we have other methods to get info about
what device fails. One is to turn on  CONFIG_PM_DEBUG, but users
would get too much info and testers need recompile the system.

In addition, dynamic debug is another good tool to dump debug info.
But it still doesn't match our utilization scenario closely.
1) user need write a user space parser to process the syslog output;
2) Our testing scenario is we leave the mobile for at least hours.
   Then, check its status. No serial console available during the
   testing. One is because console would be suspended, and the other
   is serial console connecting with spi or HSU devices would consume
   power. These devices are powered off at suspend-2-ram.

This enables pm_notifier_call_chain() to get the actual error code
in the callback rather than always assume -EINVAL by converting all
PM notifier calls to return encapsulate error code with

<title>PM / Hibernate: Add sysfs knob to control size of memory for drivers</title>

Martin reports that on his system hibernation occasionally fails due
to the lack of memory, because the radeon driver apparently allocates
too much of it during the device freeze stage.  It turns out that the
amount of memory allocated by radeon during hibernation (and
presumably during system suspend too) depends on the utilization of
the GPU (e.g. hibernating while there are two KDE 4 sessions with
compositing enabled causes radeon to allocate more memory than for
one KDE 4 session).

In principle it should be possible to use image_size to make the
memory preallocation mechanism free enough memory for the radeon
driver, but in practice it is not easy to guess the right value
because of the way the preallocation code uses image_size.  For this
reason, it seems reasonable to allow users to control the amount of
memory reserved for driver allocations made after the hibernate
preallocation, which currently is constant and amounts to 1 MB.

Introduce a new sysfs file, /sys/power/reserved_size, whose value
will be used as the amount of memory to reserve for the
post-preallocation reservations made by device drivers, in bytes.
For backwards compatibility, set its default (and initial) value to
the currently used number (1 MB).

The variable pm_flags is used to prevent APM from being enabled
along with ACPI, which would lead to problems.  However, acpi_init()
is always called before apm_init() and after acpi_init() has
returned, it is known whether or not ACPI will be used.  Namely, if
acpi_disabled is not set after acpi_init() has returned, this means
that ACPI is enabled.  Thus, it is sufficient to check acpi_disabled
in apm_init() to prevent APM from being enabled in parallel with
ACPI.

There are two spellings in use for 'freeze' + 'able' - 'freezable' and
'freezeable'.  The former is the more prominent one.  The latter is
mostly used by workqueue and in a few other odd places.  Unify the
