n different people (n>>3) already presented solutions for this. Maybe its time for linus/davem to select one of them?
Someone posted a patch for 2.1.x and mkswap which will allow for swap partitions larger than 128MB (all of which actually used ;-)
Stephen Tweedie said that he will roll those kernel level changes into his next set of changes to the 2.1.x swaping code.
