Let's just define it always then in the common code so we don't have
even more magic bits platforms need to define even if they don't care at
all. And please don't put #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI into the common code ;)
Maybe #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_NEEDS_HIBERNATE_HOOKS or something.

Gotcha.

You could reduce code churn in all other platforms by making these weak
symbols like the irq hooks I did for pm_ops. It looks like it can work
and possibly is even less intrusive than my hibernate_ops patch. Though
then again my hibernate_ops patch removed a lot of stuff that is now no
longer necessary, and also completely removed the PM_SUSPEND_DISK foo...
we probably want that regardless of how we invoke ACPI.
