Note that even if you swapoff all your devices, kswapd will still hunt down pages which are on disk and read-only (excutable pages e.g.) and evict them thinking that it can read them back at any time. Of course, that time comes when I move my mouse and X/kwin/plasma-desktop needs that page.
My issue was seen with 2.6.36-rc7, so some of the desktop responsiveness patches are in there.

RS690 HDMI audio support
It was said here: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25084 that the 2.6.36 will provide RS690 hdmi audio support. I tried it and it is still not working for me. Does anybody know which git changeset provided the fix ? Is a new version of the xorg driver needed ? Everything seems ok for me, the device is listed in aplay -l and enabled in the mixer but still no sound...
