Just don't configure any swap space when the system starts up.  If you
really want all application pages -- even executable code, not just
data -- to stay resident in RAM and never be read from secondary storage --
one thing you could do would be to modify the C library (or the main()
function of all executables you provide) to call mlockall(MCL_FUTURE).
For this to work, you will also need to modify the default memorylocked 
limit so that it is as high as the memoryuse limit.
