Agreed. :-) It's /proc/swap now.

The patch (swap.diff, against 2.0.28, but likely to go in any reasonably
new kernel without any troubles) is available together with the modified
swapoff at:

ftp://moisil.wal.rhno.columbia.edu/pub/linux/mount-2.6a1.tar.gz

Please give it a try, and let me know if there are any problems. Also, let
me know if (and why) you think this feature does not belong in the kernel.

Comments, flames, etc welcome. :-)
