Thus the page flags used so far by swsusp (PG_nosave, PG_nosave_free) can be used for other purposes and I believe there are some urgend needs of them. :-) Last week I sent these patches to the linux-pm and linux-mm lists and there were no negative comments. Also I've been testing them on my x86_64 boxes for a few days and apparently they don't break anything. I think they can go into -mm for testing. Comments are welcome.
