It looks like inside page_alloc.c it unmaps the page before it actually
frees it, so to hibernate it could look like the page is still
allocated even though it's unmapped? Maybe that small window is what it
cared about initially.
There is also now the vmalloc case, which I am actually working on
expanding. So I think the re-mapping logic is needed.
