I considered this before, however Cx is really a type, not a given state.
There can be more than 3 sleep states.  For instance, the IBM R40 has C1,
C2, C3, and C3 (4 states).  An index was the only unique way I could
specify the states.  The transition latency is also unique but setting a
state to 182 to get the last C3 state is even worse from a user
perspective.
