Users wishing to swap onto a local regular file have to go through the vnconfig/mdconfig gimnastics. Is that intentional? If not, should it be fixed by relaxing the swapon(2)'s to not require the VFCF_NETWORK for regular files, or -- cosmeticly -- by modifying the swapon(8) to do the vnconfig/mdconfig-ing inside? In both cases, pstat will, probably, need improving to display the regular file name in the -s case.
