IMHO, it is true for only the memory which is ACTUALLY in use by the kernel. For e.g. on a system with 512 MB RAM, if a kernel's static memory foot print is 50 MB, then that 50 MB will never be swapped out to disk. Additionally, the dynamically allocated memory by the kernel (e.g. if a driver kmallocs() certain memory) is also marked as non-swappable (till the time it is kfreed()). Can some body please CMIIW.
