Interesting. For any noticable gain ?
S1 and S4bios work better, especially in 2.4 series, if \_OS is set as
'Microsoft Windows NT", because this OS have the same kind of support
for suspending/resuming devices as Linux 2.4 in general...
2.5 is another story. I am not sure for now what is 'best'.

So could we add kernel boot argument to allow changig/overriding the \_OS
string? Eg. acpi_os="Microsoft Windows NT" to allow us to play with it without
rekompiling the kernel ?
