I am curious: why and how?  IIUC, neither suspend nor hibernate use
swap.  Or have I misunderstood?

Hibernate, in particular, saves everything to disk so RAM should not be
an issue.  I could see, maybe, how suspend may need some swap, mind you,
as it does use RAM but very little over and above what is currently
being used by the running programs?
