Subject: [PATCH][Fix] Hibernation: Do not try to mark invalid PFNs as nosave

[Please consider as 2.6.23 material.]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

On some systems some PFNs reported by the early initialization code as 'nosave'
may be invalid.  If we try to set the corresponding bits in the hibernation
bitmap, BUG_ON() in memory_bm_find_bit() will be triggered and the system
won't be able to boot  (cf. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=296242).

Prevent this from happening by verifying if the 'nosave' PFNs are valid in
mark_nosave_pages().
