Hi Pavel, 

Thanks for your review, first!

OK, I will change the naming.

Yes, the number 128 is from E820MAX, the legacy E820 BIOS limitation. My original thinking is keep
the size of swsusp_info in 4K then don't need change the swap accessing codes in swsusp_read() and
swsusp_write(). On the other hand, I have no machine that provides E820 entries more then 128.

hm.... but, yes, this is an magic number causes we didn't check the entries bigger than 128.
I will modify this patch to keep the pages of E820 table behind the swsusp_info header.

OK, I will change naming and reduce goto.

The RESERVED_KERN is boot_params.hdr.setup_data, reserved by kernel for
PCI RomImage and extend e820 entries. The E820_RAM and E820_RESERVED_KERN 
are saved in hibernate snapshot image and will restore to appropriate page
frame. If hibernate can not restore data to the original page frame, then
whole hibernate resume process will be stop. So I think don't need check
RAM and RESERVED_KERN because image saved it.

Yes, thanks for your suggestion, I will also check type of mem_chk_map.
