Setting /proc/sys/vm/swappiness to 0 didn't take changes in the swap
usage until the moment.

What you consulted to me about /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/ept is
because it can serve like workaround until the publication of 2.6.32.x
that fix this problem?

Although, as I said in another mail, I don't have enabled this
parameter:

root@ubuntu:~# ls /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/
nested  npt

root@ubuntu:~# uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-dgb #1 SMP Mon Dec 14 06:18:06 ART 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
