Subject: [RFC][PATCH] PM / Hibernate: Modify signature used to mark swap

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>
Subject: PM / Hibernate: Modify signature used to mark swap

Since we are adding compression to the kernel's hibernate code,
change signature used by it to mark swap spaces, so that earlier
kernels don't attempt to restore compressed images they cannot
handle.
