Probably better, yes. In -mm Peter is doing an #ifdef CONFIG_SWAP
bdi_init() on swapper_space. Would make sense to do both together,
perhaps move them to a swapper_space_init() in swap_state.c, saving
his #ifdef too. I suggest leave such cleanups until one or the
other is mainlined.

Ok. I have updated the largeblock git tree with your patches and a new
revision of the mmap patches. Still working on it. Fallback in the block
layer is not yet working. I probably need to look at Nick's patches a bit.
