We've had a discussion in the Linaro storage team (Saugata, Venkat and me, with Luca joining in on the discussion) about swapping to flash based media such as eMMC. This is a summary of what we found and what we think should be done. If people agree that this is a good idea, we can start working on it.
There is mtdswap.
Also the old Nokia N900 had swap to eMMC.
The last I heard was that swap was considered to be simply too slow on hand held devices.
As systems adopt more RAM, isn't there a decreasing demand for swap?
