There might be multiple ways to implement this.
Also we should discuss a possibility if this is even worth the implementation or we will rather take this as the "advanced solution" so users can do that manually.
Note from mkolman@redhat.com :
I suggest to start with a brief research task, as the situation is quite different to when we still supported swap regularly & when we dropped auto-creating it.
- does it strictly need a swap partition ? can't modern BTRFS (Workstation) or XFS+LVM perhaps support a swap file without a separate partition ?
- what about the size ?
- IIRC the swap data can be compressed, so maybe the partition if necessary, could be smaller than RAM size ?
- can we make sure the partition is only used for hibernation and not for swapping ? that could avoid cases where there is not enough space to hibernate due to the swap being used for... swapping
