[OpenIndiana-discuss] SSD as a dedicated swap device

[David Brodbeck]

Oh, and additionally, swap can serve as a useful safety valve if memory
gets fragmented and the kernel has to allocate a large, contiguous page for
some kind of DMA buffer or the like.  I don't know if that's a common
scenario on OI, but I've seen it happen on Linux.
