     * Typical actions are to turn on or off devices and adjust
     * cpufreq parameters. This function may also call the
     * appropriate interfaces to allow the kernel to suspend the
     * system to low-power sleep state when entering non-interactive
     * state, and to disallow low-power suspend when the system is in
     * interactive state. When low-power suspend state is allowed, the
     * kernel may suspend the system whenever no wakelocks are held.
     *
     * For example,
     * This function can be called to enter non-interactive state after
     * turning off the screen (if present) and called to enter
     * interactive state prior to turning on the screen.
