Neat! I didn't think this would be possible without hacking 
kernel/power/snapshot.c.

I've given this a spin on Juno and Seattle, I even added debug_pagealloc, but
that doesn't trick it because your kexec_prepare_suspend() puts the mapping 
back.

Strictly this is kdump not kexec, but the comment makes that clear.

Stray whitespace change from a previous patch?
