While digging thorugh kernel sources and boot logs trying to figure out
why my laptop crashes on 'save to disk' suspends (I suspect this is
similar to the 'hibernate' suspend that another linux-kernel-ite was
complaining didn't work), I came across something interesting:

My APM BIOS reports itself as APM version 1.2.

I *think* the kernel only supports APM version 1.1 right now, and
certainly only APM 1.1 docs are available for download from ftp.intel.com.
Could other laptop-using linux folk on this list check /var/log/dmesg and
tell me: a) if you've got a "1.2" APM BIOS, and b) what features don't
work, if any.

Finally, if anyone knows where I can find the APM 1.2 spec, I'd be willing
to update APM support to version 1.2.
