The a-priori reason was to absolutely guarantee that the hibernate was
not failing due to being out of memory. I seem to have succeeded.

The recc (IIRC) was swap=2xRAM if leq 512MiB. =RAM if above (and that is
just to make sure there's room for hibernate). There is an argument for
not using swap at all - given the large amounts of RAM in modern
machines.

Nah - I just need a snooze.
The issue is: suspend to RAM. Suspend is fine, when it attempts to wake,
it reboots instead.

Hibernate is great - I've never seen this actually work before.
