Only the OS's that you care about hibernating. With just a Linux swap
partition, it is possible to hibernate Linux, boot Windows, shut down
Windows, then resume Linux. If it was desired to hibernate Windows too,
then yes, Windows would need a place to store the hibernated image.
Multiple versions of Linux can be hibernated simultaneously as well, as
long as they each have their own separate swap partition.
