[PATCH -mm] i386: Do not restore reserved memory after hibernation

[Not urgent, needs to be tested in -mm]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

On some systems the ACPI NVS area is located in the first 1 MB of RAM and
it is overwritten by the i386 code during the restore after hibernation.
This confuses the ACPI platform firmware that doesn't update the AC adapter
status appropriately as a result
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7995).

The solution is to register the reserved memory in the first 1 MB as 'nosave',
so that swsusp doesn't touch it during the restore. Also, this has been done
on x86_64 for a long time now, so this patch makes the i386 restore code behave
like the x86_64 one.
