Best experience with Thinkpad suspend/resume

Hi!

They _should_ suspend/resume ok on freebsd-10.1. If in doubt, try
-HEAD on it and we can backport whatever is missing.

The iwn(4) wifi support will be better in FreeBSD-HEAD. Noone's
backported that to -10 yet.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops/Thinkpad_T530 has some information.

(I don't have  T520 or T530, so I can't debug it. Having a T530 would
be nice; I don't have any Optimus hardware at the moment so I can't
really test what's required to make it work out of the box on
freebsd.)

It is not an absolute deal breaker but we are looking for the Thinkpad model providing the best suspend/resume support under FreeBSD. I've scoured the Internet and have essentially learned that the T520 and the T530 might be the best bet.
