This should not be hard, actually. Export your unused videomem in
KGIcon using a kgi_mmio_region, and then 'mkswap' and 'swapon' the /proc
mapperfile. IIRC, all you need is a mmap()able file with no holes, which we
have now. Note that your filesize must be >= 10 pages for Linux to be able
to use it as swapspace.
