That's not a problem, I think. 1) We define platform_hibernation if CONFIG_ACPI is set. 2) In the ACPI code we do if (can do S4) platform_hibernation = 1; 3) We have functions arch_platform_prepare()/finish()/enter() that are defined to be noops for anything but ACPI systems and for ACPI systems they are defined like this: int arch_platform_enter(void) { if (!platform_hibernation) return 0; ... } I think it should work.
