Hi,

I don't have much to do with swsusp, but I really prefer that a
page flag name should tell you what the property of the page is,
rather than what this subsystem should or shouldn't do with it.

I thought the page flag names I used were pretty nice, and a big
improvement overthe current page flag names.
