However, there are valid reasons to do so, e.g.:
* Resizing the swap partition, or creating a swap RAID
* Wanting to make sure that some information is not going to get
swapped to disk, but remains in RAM (to make sure it is mostly
gone when you power down)
* (In addition to those, any work on the swap space in a running
system)
* Benchmarking some special situation
* Battery saving
* Probably others
