Hi!

So please get the VM bits for swap over network blockdevices in first,Trouble with that part is that we don't have any sane network block devices atm, NBD is utter crap, and iSCSI is too complex to be called sane.
Hey, NBD was designed to be _simple_. And I think it works okay in that area.. so can you elaborate on "utter crap"? [Ok, performance is not great.] Plus, I'd suggest you to look at ata-over-ethernet. It is in tree today, quite simple, but should have better performance than nbd.
