With r338342  and
vm.pageout_oom_seq="1024"
in /boot/loader.conf the RPI3 is a bit closer to a Mars Rover.
No panics, crashes or USB errors, -j4 buildworld runs to completion.
When swap usage goes over about 50% the system slows, but doesn't give up.
There are six 1 GB swap partitions available, 3 on USB and 3 on microSD.

Log files are at
http://www.zefox.net/~fbsd/rpi3/swaptests/r338342/
for the combinations tried so far.

Thanks for reading, and everybody's help!
