-SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE - set the resume partition (the last ioctl() argument
-        should specify the device's major and minor numbers in the old
-        two-byte format, as returned by the stat() function in the .st_rdev
-        member of the stat structure)
-
 SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA - set the resume partition and the offset (in <PAGE_SIZE>
         units) from the beginning of the partition at which the swap header is
         located (the last ioctl() argument should point to a struct
         resume_swap_area, as defined in kernel/power/power.h, containing the
-        resume device specification, as for the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl(),
-        and the offset); for swap partitions the offset is always 0, but it is
-        different to zero for swap files (please see
+        resume device specification and the offset); for swap partitions the
+        offset is always 0, but it is different from zero for swap files (see
         Documentation/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt for details).
-        The SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA ioctl() is considered as a replacement for
-        SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE which is regarded as obsolete.   It is
-        recommended to always use this call, because the code to set the resume
-        partition may be removed from future kernels
 
 SNAPSHOT_PLATFORM_SUPPORT - enable/disable the hibernation platform support,
         depending on the argument value (enable, if the argument is nonzero)
