I would like this one.

Really hard to be done properly. There's alternative: Swapping over
network block device. Unfortunately requires ugly patch to TCP
layer. (This is not going to be in official kernel.)

PnP really should be in kernel. (Well, no problem for me. My vlbus 486
is probably not going to have PnP problems anytime soon.). PnP is
about hardware, and when something is about hardware, it's kernel
topic.
