Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] power/hibernate: Make passing hibernate offsets more friendly

Currently the only way to specify a hibernate offset for a
swap file is on the kernel command line.

Add a new /sys/power/resume_offset that lets userspace
specify the offset and disk to use when initiating a hibernate
cycle.

Changes from v2:
 * Cast the output for sector_t when printing
 * Fix a compilation problem with i386 due to different size of sector_t

+Swap partition:
 You need to append resume=/dev/your_swap_partition to kernel command
-line. Then you suspend by

+If using a swapfile you can also specify a resume offset using
