I believe that may well be true. I _do_ believe that the MM code actually
has all the basic functionality there, and that the infrastructure is
stable and in place. That helps a lot.
But there may be some unforseen thing that makes it harder than expected
to add a page to the swap cache at write-out rather that page-in. The
patches may be trivial, in which case I will certainly apply them, because
I do believe that it's the RightThing(tm) to do, but if it turns out to be
nontrivial due to some unforseen circumstance..
