page vs. fs-cache

Hi,

what is the status of fs-cache?

I'm asking, because the PS3 gained access to the video memory as a block
device recently. I'm using it as a swap device and set swappiness to 100.

Since the PS3 has only little (main)-memory (< 256MB), it would be more
effective to use the video memory (~180MB) primary as the file system cache
and all the main-memory as page cache (swappiness = 0?).

I know that fs-cache is for network-fs caching, but could it be used to cache
ext3/4 filesystem?

Greetings

Marvin
