Given the circumstances under which hibernation does not work, and
which can be enabled unwittingly in our installer, and the side effects
of it being used, I feel that a kernel command-line is a low enough
bar to jump.

Until the kernel can use a dedicated partition for hibernation, which
would fix the majority of problems users can encounter, we're just
offering more sharp edges with which to cut themselves.

(as a side note, UPower also uses systemd's Can* methods to check
for the availability of power saving methods, and to activate them)
