Device      512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type

Notice that capacity is spread equally over all swap-paritions
despite differences in raw speed and drive-load (which you can't
see, but trust me, there is). Can the swap-block locater be made
adaptive, or does it rely on a uniform (and static) m/n distribution?
