Implement async reads for swsusp resuming.
Crufty old PIII testbox:
15.7 MB/s -> 20.3 MB/s
Sony Vaio:
14.6 MB/s -> 33.3 MB/s
I didn't implement the post-resume bio_set_pages_dirty(). I don't really
understand why resume needs to run set_page_dirty() against these pages.
It might be a worry that this code modifies PG_Uptodate, PG_Error and
PG_Locked against the image pages. Can this possibly affect the resumed-into
kernel? Hopefully not, if we're atomically restoring its mem_map?

swsusp should not use memcpy for snapshotting memory, because on some
architectures memcpy may increase preempt_count (i386 does this when
CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW is set). Then, as a result, wrong value of preempt_count
is stored in the image.
Replace memcpy in copy_data_pages with an open-coded loop.

Make swsusp allocate only as much memory as needed to store the image data
and metadata during resume.
Without this patch swsusp additionally allocates many page frames that will
conflict with the "original" locations of the image data and are considered
as "unsafe", treating them as "eaten" pages (ie. allocated but unusable).
The patch makes swsusp allocate as many pages as it'll need to store the
data read from the image in one shot, creating a list of allocated "safe"
pages, and use the observation that all pages allocated by it are marked
with the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set. Namely, when it's about
to load an image page, swsusp can check whether the page frame
corresponding to the "original" location of this page has been allocated
(ie. if the page frame has the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set) and
if so, it can load the page directly into this page frame. Otherwise it
uses an allocated "safe" page from the list to store the data that will be
copied to their "original" location later on.
This allows us to save many page copyings and page allocations during
resume and in the future it may allow us to load images greater than 50% of
the normal zone.

1. Add architecture specific pages save/restore support. Next two patches
will use this to save/restore 'ACPI NVS' pages.
2. Allow reserved pages 'nosave'. This could avoid save/restore BIOS
reserved pages.

The function free_pagedir() used by swsusp for freeing its internal data
structures clears the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags for each page
being freed.
However, during resume PG_nosave_free set means that the page in
question is "unsafe" (ie. it will be overwritten in the process of
restoring the saved system state from the image), so it should not be
used for the image data.
Therefore free_pagedir() should not clear PG_nosave_free if it's called
during resume (otherwise "unsafe" pages freed by it may be used for
storing the image data and the data may get corrupted later on).

This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp.
The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot
device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related
operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.
Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a
selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which
sectors of the resume partition are available to them.
The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling
functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp.
The interface documentation is included in the patch.
The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will
be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been
requested.

Introduce the low level interface that can be used for handling the
snapshot of the system memory by the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code of
swsusp and the userland interface code (to be introduced shortly).
Also change the way in which swsusp records the allocated swap pages and,
consequently, simplifies the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code (this is
necessary for the userland interface too). To this end, it introduces two
helper functions in mm/swapfile.c, so that the swsusp code does not refer
directly to the swap internals.

This patch fixes a problem with the function enough_free_mem() used by
swsusp to verify if there is a sufficient number of memory pages available
to it to create and save the suspend image.
Namely, enough_free_mem() uses nr_free_pages() to obtain the number of free
memory pages, which is incorrect, because this function returns the total
number of free pages, including free highmem pages, and the highmem pages
cannot be used by swsusp for storing the image data.
The patch makes enough_free_mem() avoid counting the free highmem
pages as available to swsusp.

This patch makes swsusp free only as much memory as needed to complete the
suspend and not as much as possible. In the most of cases this should speed
up the suspend and make the system much more responsive after resume,
especially if a GUI (eg. X Windows) is used.
If needed, the old behavior (ie to free as much memory as possible during
suspend) can be restored by unsetting FAST_FREE in power.h

This patch introduces the swap map structure that can be used by swsusp for
keeping tracks of data pages written to the swap. The structure itself is
described in a comment within the patch.
The overall idea is to reduce the amount of metadata written to the swap and
to write and read the image pages sequentially, in a file-alike way. This
makes the swap-handling part of swsusp fairly independent of its
snapshot-handling part and will hopefully allow us to completely separate
these two parts in the future.
This patch is needed to remove the suspend image size limit imposed by the
limited size of the swsusp_info structure, which is essential for x86-64
systems with more than 512 MB of RAM.
