confusing name of its member 'page' to 'cur'.

+ *     Auxiliary structure used for reading the snapshot image data and
+ *     metadata from and writing them to the list of page backup entries
+ *     (PBEs) which is the main data structure of swsusp.
+ *
+ *     Using struct snapshot_handle we can transfer the image, including its
+ *     metadata, as a continuous sequence of bytes with the help of
+ *     snapshot_read_next() and snapshot_write_next().
+ *
+ *     The code that writes the image to a storage or transfers it to
+ *     the user land is required to use snapshot_read_next() for this
+ *     purpose and it should not make any assumptions regarding the internal
+ *     structure of the image.  Similarly, the code that reads the image from
+ *     a storage or transfers it from the user land is required to use
+ *     snapshot_write_next().
+ *
+ *     This may allow us to change the internal structure of the image
+ *     in the future with considerably less effort.
