SubjectRe: [RFC][PATCH -mm 3/4] Hibernation: Pass CR3 in the image header on x86_64
Hi!

No, I do not think I like that. I believe both -> control and -> crc
is just useless paranoia. Bitflip in this area is not going to be any
worse than bitflip anywhere else, we should not pretend this is
somehow "more important".

-> control should really be "protocol version"... probably should
contain some field that is easy to increment.
