The only thing of the "swap device" that's actually used is the strategy routine which does interleaving for the higher layers. It's really not useable as anything else as this strategy routine doesn't actually work for normal device access. libkvm doesn't use it, at least not for a very long time. IMHO, the strategy routine should be moved elsewhere for the VM swap code to use as a subroutine and the whole "device" should be deep-six'ed.
