You bro's do realise that:

1. Busybox-power has swapon with support for -p flag
2. Busybox-power won't really take up any extra space (like 256k)
3. With Busybox-power You can use a swapfile instead of partition (which seems to f**k some sd cards)
4. There is NO measurable benefit of 'striping' swap across SD and EMMC.

For maximum swap performance, create swapfile on a fast SD card and use that as swap.

Swapfiles are as easy as this.
