The decision of what pages to move out of memory is in the code under mm/ (memory management). The actual I/O to/from a swap area depends on what the backing store is - a disk partition, a file on a filesystem, an NFS mount, or whatever - the I/O gets handled by whatever drives any other I/O for that target.
