Couple of points/questions:

- Is it possible to make swsusp use a dedicated hibernate partition, for
better interoperability with Windows? I was thinking of the dual boot
situation, where I would like a laptop to boot whatever OS was booted
last. And how does s4bios fit in?

- Perhaps we can mention in the help text that swsusp performs a
function similar to hibernate, and different from the APM suspend
operation, with corresponding power savings.

Thanks,
Rahul
