Yes, and no. I'd say what we need to do is update rw_swap_page to use the address space functions directly. With block devices and files going through the page cache in 2.5 that should remove any special cases cleanly.
Will block devices go through the page cache in 2.5.x?
I had hoped they would, that any block devices would just be page-cache views of underlying character devices, thus allowing us to remove the buffer-cache and the /dev/raw stuff.
