Are you talking about kernel virtual memory cache, used for example to decrease accessing harddisk while reading from memory is much more eficient and faster? That cache get automatically overwritten when system needs more memory.
Storing/Moving it to swap device (much slower) is clueless ...

Explore vm.* sysctl variables.
