It's possible that during install a user or OEM may opt to not include a swap 
partition due to being worried about wearing the SSD down sooner.  When this 
happens, hibernate won't work because there is nowhere to write the memory out 
to.

Rather than trying and failing in a known failure situation, the FUSA
applet should only present the option if the swap partition is present -
AND large enough to accommodate the amount of ram that needs to be
written to it during a hibernate request.
