zone.max-swap can be used to limit the amount of memory that processes in a zone
can reserve.  Note that this has little to do with swap devices - the term swap
in this sense means virtual memory.

In order for a process to use RAM, those pages of RAM need to be backed by
something that can be paged.  Anonymous pages (those typically obtained via
malloc()) are charged against malloc.  The memory needed to hold executables and
libraries are backed by the disk where they reside.
