s2disk hang update

[Alan Jenkins]

Hi,

I've been suffering from s2disk hangs again.  This time, the hangs
were always before the hibernation image was written out.

They're still frustratingly random.  I just started trying to work out
whether doubling PAGES_FOR_IO makes them go away, but they went away
on their own again.

I did manage to capture a backtrace with debug info though.  Here it
is for 2.6.33-rc2.  (It has also happened on rc1).  I was able to get
the line numbers (using gdb, e.g.  "info line
*stop_machine_create+0x27"), having built the kernel with debug info.
