Why is nouveau using a separate swap storage?

Hi guys,

just another TTM feature which is only used by nouveau.

We have this bo->bo.persistent_swap_storage pointer which is only set by 
nouveau to the GEM filp and used when a BO is swapped to a shmem file.

As far as I can see this doesn't make any sense at all? What is the 
background here.

Thanks,
Christian.
