striping to a per device round-robin algorithm.
Because of the policy of not attempting to retain previous swap
allocation on page-out, this means that a newly added swap device
almost instantly takes its 1/N share of the I/O load but it takes
somewhat longer for it to assume it's 1/N share of the pages if there
is plenty of space on the other devices.
Change the 8G total swapspace limitation to 8G per device instead
by using a per device blist rather than one global blist. This
reduces the memory footprint by 75% (typically a couple hundred
kilobytes) for the common case with one swapdevice but NSWAPDEV=4.
Remove the compile time constant limit of number of swap devices,
there is no limit now. Instead of a fixed size array, store the
per swapdev structure in a TAILQ.
Total swap space is still addressed by a 32 bit page number and
therefore the upper limit is now 2^42 bytes = 16TB (for i386).
We still do not allocate the first page of each device in order to
give some amount of protection to any bsdlabel at the start of the

1) The race has to do with zone destruction. From the zone destructor we
would lock the zone, set the working set size to 0, then unlock the zone,
drain it, and then free the structure. Within the window following the
working-set-size set to 0 and unlocking of the zone and the point where
in zone_drain we re-acquire the zone lock, the uma timer routine could
have fired off and changed the working set size to something non-zero,
thereby potentially preventing us from completely freeing slabs before
destroying the zone (and thus leaking them).
2) The leak has to do with zone destruction as well. When destroying a
zone we would take care to free all the buckets cached in the zone, but
although we would drain the pcpu cache buckets, we would not free them.
This resulted in leaking a couple of bucket structures (512 bytes each)
per cpu on SMP during zone destruction.
