[Gllug] swap over the network

I need to get access to swap over the network. My development target has
only 16MB of memory and no local writable storage (it uses nfs-root).

Swap-over-NFS remains buggy - various patches to the kernel are floating
about but are not yet in mainline (or even in -mm afaics)

But the discussion about the patches suggest that swap to network attached
storage works.

Anyone here using it? Is it easy to do or does it require some patching of
the kernel?
