   drivers/block/z2ram.c is a device driver which turns an area of RAM into
a block device (which you can then use for swap). The Config.in file will
only let you enable it on systems with a Zorro bus, so it might have
dependencies that prevent if from compiling on a PC, but you might be able
to hack that out of it.
