What about using a NAND partition as swap? Has this ever been done?
Given that partition support is a recent development it seems unlikely.
Swapping to the soldered-in NAND chips is a very bad idea. It will
tend to wear them out rapidly. Even if you use load-leveling software

It should work but I haven't explored the practicalities of it.
While the MTD layer does go to memory first, my thought about two swaps was
slightly different. Depending on how they are managed, one of two things
