I've submitted my experience that this helps and that I want this to go into the mainline. Is there a real flaw with the swap prefetch patch or is it just not sexy enough?

Well, read con's statement again... This is why I did mentioned this mail to the LWN editors - what happened to the patch seems to really follow Con's 4-step plan. Discussion about this, and the why and how led to Andrew replying to me about his 'mandatory review mail' which he would send on a 'sufficiently gloomy day' - http://lwn.net/Articles/222174/

In other words, a reason for this might be a lack of hackers willing to review code aimed for inclusion in the kernel.
