[ltp] apmd and standby-mode on the thinkpad T21

[D. Sen]

I experience it while running on both battery and AC power. And yes,
using PCMCIA cards.

I monitor the parameters being passed to the apm_proxy script. For
suspend (Fn+F4), I see "system suspend". Then on resume from suspend, I
see "resume suspend".

But for Standby (Fn+F3), all I see is "change power". This causes the
hard drive to miss interrupts and I cant automate the use of hdparm to
get around the problem.....unless I add hdparm commands for the "change
power" condition.....which doesnt seem like the right thing to do.

I am running the latest BIOS for the T21.
