As I suspected, the in-kernel hibernate can write the memory image to
the swap file just fine...

...but maybe we could do something a little more targeted?

Hmm.  I was poking around in the uswsusp code and I /think/ it prepares
the kernel for the userspace-driven hibernation by calling the ioctl
SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE on the device that it's going to use.  If that's
true, we could have it clear S_SWAPFILE on the chosen device, though I'd
have to do some more digging to figure out how to restore the flag after
resuming from hibernation.
