This is the same system I normally run -CURRENT on, so it's not specifically a hardware error. It's a pity that the message doesn't specify the device, but I assume it has to be the swap partition. There aren't any other error messages. error appears to be bp->b_error, which means it's an EBUSY, which is puzzling enough as it is.
