Very nice write-up.
I asked for it to become its own thread.

The 'out of memory' problems could be avoided by creating a swap **file** in the user store and then enabling 'swap to file'.
(64Mb ... 128Mb should keep bzpatch happy)

Note: Many of the posts here about using swap create a file and then turn it into a device using losetup -
Which is not required, Linux swap can use the file itself (or a partition or a device or any mixture of the three).
