APM - it's a Thinkpad 570E.  (For what it's worth, I've been able to use
APM suspend/hibermate on Thinkpad 770X/Z, Thinkpad 240/240X, and Thinkpad
600 models - some with a little tweaking).

I was curious if swsusp made the machibe hibernate faster / more reliably,
or whether it was mainly for folks who couldn't get their machines to
hibernate any other way (like, say, my desktop - which doesn't have a
hibernation function).
