+config PM
+        bool "Power Management support"
+        ---help---
+          "Power Management" means that parts of your computer are shut
+          off or put into a power conserving "sleep" mode if they are not
+          being used.  There are two competing standards for doing this: APM
+          and ACPI.  If you want to use either one, say Y here and then also
+          to the requisite support below.
+
+          Power Management is most important for battery powered laptop
+          computers; if you have a laptop, check out the Linux Laptop home
+          page on the WWW at <http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/> or
+          Tuxmobil - Linux on Mobile Computers at <http://www.tuxmobil.org/>
+          and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
+          <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+          Note that, even if you say N here, Linux on the x86 architecture
+          will issue the hlt instruction if nothing is to be done, thereby
+          sending the processor to sleep and saving power.
+
+config PM_DEBUG
+        bool "Power Management Debug Support"
+        depends on PM
+        ---help---
+        This option enables verbose debugging support in the Power Management
+        code. This is helpful when debugging and reporting various PM bugs, 
+        like suspend support.
+
+config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
+        bool "Software Suspend (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+        depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PM && SWAP
+        ---help---
+          Enable the possibility of suspending the machine.
+          It doesn't need APM.
+          You may suspend your machine by 'swsusp' or 'shutdown -z <time>' 
+          (patch for sysvinit needed). 
+
+          It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon next
+          boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
+          have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
+          continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
+          be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel argument. However, note
+          that your partitions will be fsck'd and you must re-mkswap your swap
+          partitions. It does not work with swap files.
+
+          Right now you may boot without resuming and then later resume but
+          in meantime you cannot use those swap partitions/files which were
+          involved in suspending. Also in this case there is a risk that buffers
+          on disk won't match with saved ones.
+
+          For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
+
+config PM_STD_PARTITION
+        string "Default resume partition"
+        depends on SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
+        default ""
+        ---help---
+          The default resume partition is the partition that the suspend-
+          to-disk implementation will look for a suspended disk image. 
+
+          The partition specified here will be different for almost every user. 
+          It should be a valid swap partition (at least for now) that is turned
+          on before suspending. 
+
+          The partition specified can be overridden by specifying:
+
+                resume=/dev/<other device> 
+
+          which will set the resume partition to the device specified. 
+
+          Note there is currently not a way to specify which device to save the
+          suspended image to. It will simply pick the first available swap 
+          device.
