[RFC][PATCH -mm 0/4] Hibernation: Arbitrary boot kernel support on x86_64

Hi,

The following patches make it possible to restore a hibernation image with the
help of a kernel different from the image one.

The first patch adds the generic, platform independent code needed for that.
The second patch implements the idea on x86_64 and the two remaining patches
are generalizations.

Details in the changelogs, comments welcome.

Greetings,
Rafael
