Yes, but I won't think it would remove the swapping code just because
I never enabled swapping in the boot sequence. All references to the
swapping code would have to be removed.

I've been told that the swapping code is heavily integrated with the
virtual managment code, so I guess it would be difficult and/or too
many #ifdefs in the code to be acceptable.
I'm still interested in a stripped-down mm subsystem more tuned for
embedded systems, but it'll have to wait for later.
