Not really. It is used when SWAP is enabled currently. But it is not
really bound to the swap functionality by any means. It just happens
that we do not have other users currently. We might put it under
CONFIG_SWAP but I do not really think it is a big improvement.

Is this warning really a big deal? The function is not used, alright,
and the compiler will likely just drop it.
