-What: noswapaccount kernel command line parameter
-When: 2.6.40
-Why: The original implementation of memsw feature enabled by
- CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP could be disabled by the noswapaccount
- kernel parameter (introduced in 2.6.29-rc1). Later on, this decision
- turned out to be not ideal because we cannot have the feature compiled
- in and disabled by default and let only interested to enable it
- (e.g. general distribution kernels might need it). Therefore we have
- added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter (introduced in 2.6.37) which provides
- the both possibilities. If we remove noswapaccount we will have
- less command line parameters with the same functionality and we
- can also cleanup the parameter handling a bit ().
