Please consider the following SRU to maverick. The patch to hibernate code
helps to solve failure to hibernate issues seen on some lenovo laptops.

I have already proposed this patch to stable@kernel.org.

SRU JUSTIFICATION
---------------------------

CAUSE
-----------
[ 839.784885] PM: Creating hibernation image:
[ 839.788014] PM: Need to copy 120225 pages
[ 839.788014] PM: Normal pages needed: 118714 + 1024, available pages: 118002
[ 839.788014] PM: Not enough free memory
[ 839.788014] PM: Error -12 creating hibernation image

FIX
----
Upstream patch reduces the image size to it equal 2/5 of the total RAM size.
This combined with shutdown hibernate mode fixes this issue.

TEST
------
This upstream patch was tested on a lenovo x120e by me,
please see comments above for test results and details.
