I've updated the 'Memory Technology Device' system to work with 2.2.0 (pre5), and even included a makefile and a little bit of documentation.
It's at http://www.imladris.demon.co.uk/mtd/mtd-980108.tar.gz
It's a generic memory device driver system, presenting memory devices to the user via a character device, or allowing FTL filesystems to be used on them.
There are two hardware devices implemented so far - a physical memory device, to use system RAM the the kernel's not already using, and a driver for the M-Systems 4Mb ISA Flash cards (www.m-sys.com).
It should quite simple to make the latter driver talk to any similar paging flash device, and I'm willing to do so for anyone who provides me with the hardware they want a driver for.
Drivers for EMM boards would also be amusing. You could then use them as swap space.
