And, as a matter of policy, we should not be changing the on disk layout of the swapfile that is provided inside the kernel. If the swap file is already allocated as unwritten, great. If not, we should not force it to be unwritten to be because then if the user downgrades their kernel the swapfile suddenly can not be used by the older kernel.
