SubjectRe: [RFC][PATCH 2/3] swsusp: Do not use page flags
Hi!

> Make swsusp use memory bitmaps instead of page flags for marking 'nosave' and
> free pages. This allows us to 'recycle' two page flags that can be used for other

> reasonable.

> The patch is designed to minimize the amount of changes and there are some nice
> simplifications and optimizations possible on top of it. I am going to
> implement them separately in the future.
