It's certainly possible to build them a special kernel. It's also
possible to build that into the standard kernel for the next release,
if we decide that it is a good idea. It is too late for 7.4 to put it
in the standard kernel. So until we do the next release, it will have
to be done as a special.
Should we do this standard in the future? Swapping on two drives is
now supported with mkserv, so the only question is increasing the
shared memory and semaphore space in the kernel. I'd like to see some
numbers as to what it costs in memory before looking further into
that.
