What about creating a project on sourceforge.net for power management?
It might help to have a site dedicated to power management in general.
That way we have a central resource for all info, code, etc across
architectures.  I know the ppc guys have done a lot of work already with
power management.

We could call it
linux-pm, it helps you get your zzzzZZZZZs:)

Actually, I almost did this very thing a few months ago, but at the time
there didn't seem to be much interest in PM so I didn't think it worth the
hassle, especially since phobos already existed for ACPI, and they've been
very responsive to requests.

Whatever you want to add is fine by me - my only concern is that someone's
gotta maintain it, and unless someone else volunteers, I'd think that would
be you, Matthew. ;-)
