 After r255265 the option file= implies late.  It is because a
 file-backed swap space likely to be on a mounted filesystem after the
 "swap" line.

 I realized that that assumption was odd and confusing as you pointed
 out.  The user should specify a swap line with file= after the mount
 entry, and there is no problem with it.  I will fix it.
