Hi.

(Sorry Jiri - unintentionally originally replied only to you).

I would like to hear the arguments for using these handles. I understand 
there may have been some previous discussion, but am unable to find it.

It seems far more sensible to me to not pass around a handle that 
virtually nothing actually uses, and instead store and utilise the state 
in the place where it is actually useful. If we had more than one struct 
hibernate_io_handle in use at a time, I could understand going this way. 
As it stands, however...

Regards,

Nigel
