I was just attempting to find out why an NFS diskless machine running 
-current spontaneously reboots when it starts swapping.  What appears to 
happen is that on the first swap read, the machine just reboots.  No 
panics, no faults, nothing.  The wierd part is that if I single step 
through that swap read, it works fine.

Apart from that, it always seems to be using synchronous i/o.  Is that 
intended?  Performance for NFS swapping will be horrible...
