I just thought I would shed some light on this issue.  kswapd0 has
nothing to do with swap space or memory.  kwapd0 is the kernel process
which swaps tasks.  A task is any thing that has a PID (which includes
threads).  When kswapd0 is high, it means the kernel is spending more
time context switching tasks than it is actually executing the tasks.

I don't know what's causing the issue but you're chasing a ghost if
you're trying to tune your swap/memory environment.
