    Please revert 2.6.36-rc commit d2997b10
    "hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation".  It complicated matters by
    adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any
    way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after
    fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as
    swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of
    the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as
    clean then swapped back in.  Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in
    danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path.
    
    I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation,
    as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on
    the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a
    separate fix.
