From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx> On x86_64 the configuration and version of the kernel that hibernates and creates a system image may be different from the configuration and version of the boot kernel that loads the image. So long as both these kernels are built with the same value of RESTORE_MAGIC, the image created by one of them should be successfully loaded and restored by the other one. It wasn't necessary to modify RESTORE_MAGIC in the past, but now that we are adding compression to the in-kernel hibernate code, change the value of RESTORE_MAGIC so that earlier kernels don't try to load compressed images they can't handle.
