I was wondering if more work was going to be done to have the daemon code call back to the backend code to get things like hibernate and suspend commands, swap details, etc.? I think that makes a lot of sense. Maybe a backend specific object, with properties kernelcansuspend, kernelcanhibernate, hibernatehasswapspace, hibernatehasencryptedswap and methods of suspend and hibernate.

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.
