With that most recent patch ( which I am just committing now ) ... maybe.
In -4.x, the alternate B_PAGING path in vn.c's vnstrategy() code is used
for VM faults as well as swap I/O. In -3.x that path was only used for
swap I/O. It is possible that there are more bugs in this section of
vn.c.
I would say it is 'probably' ok, but it will take more people testing
the vn device under -4.x to be able to say that it is safe.
