What about using a NAND partition as swap?  Has this ever been done?
Given that partition support is a recent development it seems unlikely.

It could also (theoretically) allow us to do power-fully-off
hibernation, a feature which seems very useful given the power usage
patterns I've heard about from the field (laptop run until *dead*,
suspend not used because of high power draw, hard power off).
