As far as I understand, we need distinguish two allocation failure.
  1) failure because no enough memory
	-> yes, hibernation should fail
 2) failure because already allocated enough lower zone memory
	-> why should we fail?

If the system has a lot of memory, scenario (2) is happen frequently than (1).
I think we need check alloc_highmem and alloc_normal variable and call
preallocate_image_highmem() again instead preallocate_image_memory()
if we've alread allocated enough lots normal memory.

nit?
