 I have finished playing with swapctl related issues.
 
 Now we need to decide what should be pulled up, and to where.
 
 The kernel mod is most likely I assume, though it is for a very
 rare and relatively harmless condition (no crashes possible, no
 unintended data exposed) so could be just left for -12 or could
 be pulled up to just -11 (or perhaps back further).   I haven't
 looked at what is involved in doing any of those yet.
 
 The changes to swapctl(8) I don't think are worthy of any pullups.
 The offending message is actually useful on any release where the
 kernel issue isn't corrected.  When it is corrected, the chances
 that anyone, not deliberately trying to provoke it, is ever going to
 encounter it, are miniscule.   The other changes are just noise.
 
 So, opinions?   I will change the PR status to pending-pullups while
 this is being decided.
