This is needed for hibernation, e.g. when we resume the old kernel, we need
to disable the "current" kernel's hypercall page and then resume the old

Hi Dexuan,

When sending patches upstream, please make sure you send them to all
maintainers and mailing lists that it needs to go to according to
MAINTAINERS/get_maintainers.py rather than cherry-picking names off the
list.

This is specially important in subsystems like x86 where it's a group
maintainers model, and it's very possible that Thomas is sipping
margaritas on a beach while one of the other x86 maintainers is covering
the tree.

This is quite easy with git-send-email and get_maintainers.py, something
like this:

git send-email --cc-cmd="scripts/get_maintainer.pl --separator=, --no-rolestats" your-work.patch

Will do all of that automatically for you.
