[PATCH] suspend-to-ram: allow video options to be set at runtime

Currently, acpi video options can only be set on kernel command line.  That's
little inflexible; I'd like userland s2ram application that just works, and
modifying kernel command line according to whitelist is not fun.  It is better
to just allow s2ram application to set video options just before suspend
(according to the whitelist).

This implements sysctl to allow setting suspend video options without reboot.

(akpm: Documentation updates for this new sysctl are pending..)
