But if you present a menu selection between one Linux (hibernated) and Win, then
the user, immediatelly or after finishing with Win, may decide to NOT return to
last hibernated Linux, but instead select another Linux menu item, and then
the bets are off.

But this is not practical - you can not foresee how many Linux/kernel menu 
selection items will be available (subject to potential hibernation). Having
the ability to create ad hoc swap partitions would be a practical impossibility.
