Re: VM Functional Requirements - lets get started

Just thought I'd add aother one while I'm thinking about it:

(our vm shall)

  - treat swap disk space as additional (slow) memory, so that the effective 
amount of memory available to programs increases by the amount of the swap 
space.  [obvious? yes, but that's not what we had in 2.4.0]

Rik, wli, are you going to ante up?

And anyone else who wants to give it a shot.  If you're shy, bear in mind 
that there are still lots of obvious requirements not in the list.  (Example: 
support multiple swap partitions.  Support swap partitions which are actually 
files on any Linux filesystem.)
