The notion of RAM doesn't bother me much, although it may matter
whether that means "all system RAM is preserved" versus "only a
small bit of on-chip SDRAM is preserved".
The notion of DISK bothers me more. Systems with only FLASH/MTD
probably aren't more demanding of PM infrastructure, but when
folk assume that the only non-volatile storage is a disk, it may
start to seem that way.
For the moment, maybe using "NONVOLATILE" rather than DISK would
be good. Also, somewhat of a nit, those aren't exactly states,
so maybe take at least the _STATE_ thingie out.
