Strongly agree.  Nobody's interested in swap as such: it's just
secondary memory, where RAM is primary memory.  People want to
control memory as the sum of the two; and I expect they may also
want to control primary memory (all that the current memcg does)
within that.  I wonder if such nesting of limits fits easily
into cgroups or will be problematic.
