swapping over the network in 2.2.16

Greets,

For assorted reasons I have to use a 2.2 kernel
with devfs for my diskless workstations.

I want to have swap over the network, for the rare
occasions when they need to. I've found two
solutions so far: nbd and nfs. Both seem to need
patches to the standard 2.2.16 kernel.

Are there any other solutions (that don't need
kernel patches)?

Which solution performs the best?

TIA,
chippo
