I'm currently considering them at last: will report back later.
Full-blown gemfs does not come in here, of course; but let me
fire a warning shot since you mention it: if it's going to use swap,
then we shall probably have to nak it in favour of continuing to use
infrastructure from mm/shmem.c. I very much understand why you would
love to avoid that dependence, but I doubt it can be safely bypassed.
