:Ok, fair enough: Then stop abusing struct buf for swap device access :-)

Huh? Look Poul, I don't know what your problem is but I'm through
playing around with you. You aren't making any sense and, frankly my
dear sir, the buffer cache, vm_pager interface, VN device, and
vm_pager_strategy subsystem is my ball of wax, not yours... I don't need
your permission and I certainly don't need your help if this is all you
can come up with. I'm not going to twist up all that wonderful clean code
just to avoid making the swapper a real device. After all, making it a
real device is only a few simple lines of code - simple and
straightforward.
