This info is sometimes useful to debugging Android suspend / battery
life problems, such as to detect a driver that is failing to service
or clear a wakeup interrupt condition.

In general, we intend to fold reporting of suspend abort reasons
(wakeup IRQ pending, wakelock grabbed, task refusing to freeze...)
into the wakeup reason reporting API to userspace previously discussed
on the linux-pm list (and also revive discussion of how to rework that
for mainline acceptance soon).

Thanks,


Todd
