Isn't exposing hibernate_has_swap_space etc. too tied to the
implementation details for this (and possibly too low-level)?

Linux alone had a lot of changes to the hibernation systems in the
past years, I can easily imagine that one day one of the multiple
kernels will just ask you to pass a path (similarly to
C:\HIBERFIL.SYS) and do the rest.
