I've often wondered why swap doesn't have a root-only x% like the file system.
Once the swap used reached 100% user processes would bomb but a root process could go ahead and use the secret x%. Another idea would be to have multiple swap files and implement a way to restrict one swap area to a specific GID (say wheel). While on the issue we could also reserve a range of process ID's for wheel group only. To always be able to log on and un-wedge a system would be most convenient.
