- To add swap space, the device needs to be compiled into the kernel
- in advance, even if you don't plan to use it. It reserves space in
- it's swap space map for this (so eventually it can interleave them).
-
- Actually, this code is out of date, because the original system used
- resource maps with compile time determined sizes. It really does not
- need to do this anymore, I'd forgotten about it until you mentioned
- the matter. One more thing for the TODO list ...
