No, a new idea to re-write swap subsystem at all. In fact, it's an impossible task to me, so I provide a compromising solution -- pps (pure private page system).

I guess that you are wanting to do something to remove arch-dependent code in swap subsystem. Just like the pud introduced in the page-table related codes. Is it right? However, you should verify that your changes will not deteriorate system performance. Also, you need to maintain it for a long time with the evolution of mainline kernel before it is accepted.
