I'm pretty sure this is based on a .config setting, defined by the user. 
  Last time I compiled a kernel (2.4.x, on a friend's Toshiba Satellite) 
I read the help text on the different parts of the kernel APM 
components, and there's a "Allow interrupts during suspend" parameter 
which supposedly makes the APM function better on IBM laptops.  I'd have 
to check the source myself to be certain, though.
