The question really isn't _can_ it be done.  It really is as simple as
exporting some swap symbols from the kernel.  The question is can it be done
_cleanly_.  I, for one, haven't seen a way to do it cleanly.

I guess there is also the question, "what is the benefit of having it as a
module?" and "could it restrict future functionality?" i.e. tighter integration
with the VMM.
