Almost there. Yes I have noticed the linux-next, but I wanted to see 
first if the same does not work in the mainline - then it would have 
pointed to the difference between the branches.

However the important part is your "CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is not set". 
Try to turn it on and check hibernation. I have used the 
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE entry, because it turns off the randomized 
automatically, and on its own it I had no use for it. BTW. turning the 
relocatable field on by default also brings randomization on, so you 
must have specifically disable it. Why?

So the real issue is: can the 32-bit kernel use randomization, _and_ 
hibernate on linux-next???
