[ltp] APMD and Standby on the TP-T21

[D. Sen]

I suspend the machine using either apm -s or.....ejecting the PCMCIA & Fn+F4, before
shutting the lid.

By the way, I tried apm -S ....and apmd called the apmd_proxy script with "standby
user". So apmd is working fine. The problem has to be apm support in the kernel....or
the BIOS....I would think...
