+ * The default pager is responsible for supplying backing store to unbacked

+ * the swap routines.  However, since swap metadata has not been assigned,
+ * the swap routines assign and manage the swap backing store through the
+ * vm_page->swapblk field.  The object is only converted when the page is 
+ * physically freed after having been cleaned and even then vm_page->swapblk
+ * is maintained whenever a resident page also has swap backing store.
