Why restrict it to Intel only? I don't know if it works properly on other architectures, but at least it would give people the opportunity to test it on embedded PPC/Arm/MIPS/CRIS/whatever.
From a quick grep over a recent BK tree, the only files who have sections conditional on CONFIG_SWAP are:
include/linux/page-flags.h include/linux/swap.h mm/vmscan.c mm/Makefile
no architecture specific code at all. From a quick look, the conditionals are rather simple (most of them are replacements of actual functions by dummies) and should work on all architectures. Please let people test it on non-X86, after all it's still a development kernel. Any breakage is unlikely to be serious and embedded people are going to be the most interested since it saves some space.
