The commit message doesn't need to say "what" you're doing - that should
be obvious from the diff below. It should rather say "why" you're doing
it.

Comment over safe_copy_page() needs updating I guess.

IINM, that's like 1734 pages more. How am I to understand this number?
Code has called set_alias_nv_noflush() on them and safe_copy_page() now
maps them one by one to copy them to the hibernation image?
Thx.
