[PATCH] Hibernation: Document __save_processor_state() on x86-64

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>]

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

Document the fact that __save_processor_state() has to save all CPU
registers referred to by the kernel in case a different kernel is
used to load and restore a hibernation image containing it.
