Swap Prefetch has existed since September 5, 2005.  Please Nick,
enlighten us all with your "alternatives" which have been offered (in
practical, not theoretical form) in the past 23 months, along with

happy users and kernel developers who have tested them out the wazoo
and given their backing.  Or just take a nice steaming jug of STFU.
