Well, I don't like the "weak symbols" stuff, but I have managed to limit the
number of additional #ifdefs in snapshot.c to just one.

The "generic" patch is now the following:

---
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

Add the bits needed for supporting arbitrary boot kernels to the common
hibernation code.

To support arbitrary boot kernels, make it possible to replace the 'struct
new_utsname' and the kernel version in the hibernation image header by some
architecture specific data that will be used to verify if the image is valid
and to restore the image.
