Entirely different beast.

Longer term, I don't want them to be entirely different beasts. Once I
get swapfile support working for 2.4, I have no plans for further
development. I plan that my next task will be to port it to 2.5/6, and
then begin to seek to merge it with Pavel, Andrew or whoever will take
patces as far as they are willing.

Regards,

Nigel

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless,
Christ died for the ungodly.

Yes, that's welcome. BTW if you have any changes outside
kernel/suspend.c, you might want to submit them ASAP. That is, any
needed *patches* and/or bugfixes.
