ACPI hibernate: Introduce new kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs
On some machines it may be necessary to disable the saving/restoring of the ACPI NVS memory region during hibernation/resume. For this purpose, introduce new ACPI kernel command line option acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs. Based on a patch by Zhang Rui. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
