From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

On x86_64 machines with more than 2 GB of RAM there are large memory gaps
(with no corresponding kernel virtual addresses) and reserved memory
regions between areas of usable physical RAM.  Moreover, if CONFIG_FLATMEM
is set, they appear within the normal zone.  swsusp should not try to save
them, so the corresponding page structs have to be marked as 'nosave'.
