This one looks good up to a couple of minor things below.

Please use if (WARN_ON(...)) retuirn -EINVAL; instead. The BUG_ON() will kill
an otherwise perfectly useable system just because we happen to have a bug in
the hibernation code.

Generally, please don't use BUG_ON() unless you _have_ _to_ (ie. the system
would crash anyway causing data loss and possibly other damage to happen if
we didn't do it).
