I know but can I pass mutltiple swapfiles to the kernel for resuming?
I'm not sure how that would work.   The object is to get a successful
resume after suspend to disc (see my other thread on HP nx6125).  It is
my understanding that the entire contents of the memory should fit into
a single swap partition for resuming.  For normal usage I have more than
enough swop - hardly use it ever.
