Before this change, swapon(8) implied that -F works as a standalone option,
which is not the case and would produce a usage message. This change extends
the description of the -F option to mention that -a is required with it.

expression howmany(BBSIZE, PAGE_SIZE), where BBSIZE is the size of the
boot block area. That can be less than 2 if PAGE_SIZE is big.
swapon(8) has an option to trim (delete) all the blocks of a device at
startup. However, if the first of those blocks is a bsd label, then
trimming those blocks is destructive. Change swapon to leave the
first BBSIZE bytes untrimmed.
Update manual pages to reflect changes in how swapon and how it may be
used, espeically in association with savecore.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Currently, '/etc/rc.d/swaplate stop' removes all swap devices. This can be
very slow and may not even be possible if there is a lot of swap space in
use. However, removing swap devices is only needed for late swap devices
that may depend on daemons that subsequent shutdown steps stop. Normal swap
devices such as hard disk partitions will remain available throughout the
shutdown process and need not be removed.
In swapoff, interpret -aL to remove late swap devices only, and use this in
etc/rc.d/swaplate. The meaning of -aL in swapon remains unchanged (add all
swap devices, both normal and late).

device names "md" or "md[0-9]*" and a "file" option are specified in

- Add GBDE/GELI encrypted swap space specification support, which
rc.d/encswap supported. The /etc/fstab lines are like the following:
/dev/ada1p1.bde none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ada1p2.eli none swap sw 0 0
.eli devices accepts aalgo, ealgo, keylen, and sectorsize as options.
swapctl(8) can understand an encrypted device in the command line
like this:
# swapctl -a /dev/ada2p1.bde
- "-L" flag is added to support "late" option to defer swapon until
rc.d/mountlate runs.
- rc.d script change:
rc.d/encswap -> removed
rc.d/addswap -> just display a warning message if $swapfile is defined
rc.d/swap1 -> renamed to rc.d/swap
rc.d/swaplate -> newly added to support "late" option
These changes alleviate a race condition between device creation/removal
and swapon/swapoff.

fairly close to the OpenBSD and NetBSD version. FreeBSD does not implement
swap priority (and it would be a mistake if we did) so we didn't bother with
that part of it.
