You could probably use the suspend-blockers unconditionally in the suspend framework to indicate if a suspend is possible or not. Regardless of opportunistic suspend or not. This way, you don't have to try-and-fail on a suspend request and thus making suspending potentially more robust or allowing for a "suspend as soon as possible" semantic (which is probably a good idea, if you have to grab your laptop in a hurry to get away).
