I obviously misunderstood what you were suggesting.
I don't believe we have a way to programmatically determine what the hardware
Internally uses for it's counter to know this.

So it would need to be a table of some sorts that a given system can support
such value. If we do that, we can actually know whether to return an error code
like -EOVERFLOW or -EINVAL too if the suspend was too long.

I would need Intel guys to share this information though which systems have
which size of counters to make this happen.

total_hw_sleep is actually what was in v6 and max_hw_sleep is what suggested.
That's why I got confused about what you guys meant.
