Ah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, that's unfortunately a limitation in the current ABI. Extending the range to previously unavailable settings is doable; changing the meaning of existing values is not. We'd have to add another interface. > Such system configuration is already non-sense so it is okay to ignore such > usecases? I'm not sure we have to be proactive about it, but we can always add a more fine-grained knob to override swappiness when somebody wants to use such a setup in practice.
