Hi all,

I tried to prepare tdehwlib HAL backend for power management. It currently 
supports suspend and hibernation. Is designed to transparently selects 
between upower and HAL.

How about a way of solution?

So far I have not examined whether it would be possible in a similar way to 
prepare HAL backend for removable drives.
