+What:   noswapaccount kernel command line parameter
+When:   2.6.40
+Why:    The original implementation of memsw feature enabled by
+        CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP could be disabled by the noswapaccount
+        kernel parameter (introduced in 2.6.29-rc1). Later on, this decision
+        turned out to be not ideal because we cannot have the feature compiled
+        in and disabled by default and let only interested to enable it
+        (e.g. general distribution kernels might need it). Therefore we have
+        added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter (introduced in 2.6.37) which provides
+        the both possibilities. If we remove noswapaccount we will have
+        less command line parameters with the same functionality and we
+        can also cleanup the parameter handling a bit ().
