I am aware of that. That is what is on my list. Enabling support in the
kernel should be trivial after that.

ACPI also handles individual devices. You can put individual devices
into one of three sleep levels and get them back, at least in theory.
This may help a lot with graphics boards, as some have the super-secret
init sequence as AML in their SSDT.
