Re: [PATCH] move do_suspend_lowlevel to correct segment

I guess I do not know enough about segments... Original code puts
saved_magic into .data (and probably puts save_registers there by
mistake, too -- so you are fixing things), but you put saved_magic
code into .data, too, so how does its read-only status change?

Does x86-64 need similar fix?
