The HSM suspend function will bring new HSM states and more tables.

This patch improves HSM documentation so that adding new HSM states
is straight forward and we can cross-reference tables from HSM
function
documentation.

introduces a set hart states and a

a hart

-The possible hart states are as follows:
-

lower

implementation

down harts.

still
