It's not dynamic, but one could concieve of a program that opened /dev/kmem and modified it. This one was designed to permit us to put the first part of our swap on a fast device and any overflow onto a larger device, so as not to panic when the smaller, faster space was used up, which happens occasionally. This allows us to put both our /tmp and swap on a fast device. You're welcome to it if you wish; it would make a good starting point.
