Currently the only way to specify a hibernate offset for a
swap file is on the kernel command line.
Add a new /sys/power/resume_offset that lets userspace
specify the offset and disk to use when initiating a hibernate
cycle.

Changes from v2:
* Cast the output for sector_t when printing
* Fix a compilation problem with i386 due to different size of sector_t

+Description:
+ This file is used for telling the kernel an offset into a disk
+ to use when hibernating the system such as with a swap file.
+
+ Reads from this file will display the current offset
+ the kernel will be using on the next hibernation
+ attempt.
+
+ Using this sysfs file will override any values that were
+ set using the kernel command line for disk offset.
